   I know some of you will remember that this was talked   
   absolutely to death here some months/years back.  I   
   suggest the questioner go back through the archives   
   and see the enormous variety of answers that came in.   
      
   My own feelings are indicated below.

   And one helluva lot tougher for the rider!   
      
   To the original questioner:   
      
   Are you asking about normal riding, or endurance contests, I guess would be   
   the question.   Take your pick, review the archives, make your best guess.   
   Are you writing a book and need the distance for that?
