So far ...
5000 km over 3 months in Australia in 2004.
We flew into Sydney, cycled to Melbourne, rode the Great Southern Randonnee 1200K randonneuring event, flew into Launceston, cycled around Tasmania for 3 weeks, flew out of Hobart and into Cairns, cycled a little further north than Cape Tribulation, turned around and cycled down to Brisbane, via the Atherton Tablelands, and then caught a bus from Brisbane to Sydney.

10,915 miles in about 10 months in 2001-2002. Went around the perimeter of Australia, starting in Brisbane, and finished it off with 3 weeks in Fiji.
Waiting for some of those PanAm riders to chime in and really give us perspective.

Five miles in a month and a half, but there was a headwind.

I was feeling good about 700 miles until I read this. Geesh, people think I'm nuts!

700 miles as a tour is not nuts at all.
