    My mind can’t comprehend those walking and biking numbers. The walking is about 70 miles a day. That’s more than double the average distance of a one day ultra marathon done everyday for a month and a half. The biking distance is about 255 miles a day. Roughly 2.5x the average daily distance for the Tour de France. I want to meet the people who can do that.

      Google maps doesn’t account for breaks. They’re assuming you can walk at 3mph, and however much time you need to rest and eat is up to you.

      Just like 1 day and 23 hours is only drive time. They’re not accounting for the naps that you will definitely need.

        Yep, doing that drive in that time would essentially require at least two people taking shifts driving - or one dangerous madman on some kind of drugs.

      I believe it’s assuming you’re not taking breaks, in which case I think they’re a bit more reasonable is expected walking speed but perhaps less reasonable in regards to a persons ability to go without sleeping :)

      It takes me 20 minutes to walk one mile at a normal pace. That would mean walking pretty much the whole 24 hours.
