Statute miles. 36 miles typically takes me around 8 hrs. Thats just a little over 4mph, so its no speed record there. I do that about once every 4-5 weeks as part of my endurance training.
I will do a 12-20 mile paddle twice every week for more intense training. An all day trip is early AM till dark, depending on what time of year can be 16 hrs. It's not hard to cover some huge distances especially on rivers.
I use a QCC 700x
Sorry I was so late in replying. Wasn't paying attention
