Depends on you. How good of shape are you in? How many miles per day can you cover? Consider that it's in the ballpark of 3000 miles, so even 50 miles per day would take you about 60 days...

Hardcore bikers do a lot more than 50 miles a day, though.

TOTALLY depends on the person.

I'm not sure, given that you are a traveling 12 mph, and given that the distance is 2,445.61mi between the two, that's roughly 204 hours. So that's 8 days non stop. Should take you about 16 days then with stopping, and that you can maintain 12mph everytime you travel.

Of course, that was my first point...Depends on you...I just used the 50 miles as a reference. had a cousin make the trip from Connecticut to Washington back in the 70's, and I think it took them 30 some days. Don't remember for sure, but it was well over a month.
