I guess the question you have to ask is what sort of time would you expect to finish your 500 miles, and how tired would you be? If you've done 500 miles by mid afternoon and felt you could carry on then 750 or so is probably realistic for a day. If 500 miles gets you there at 7pm, exhausted, then it's best to split the journey across 2 days
I've always been two-up in the past so I guess I should be able to go further solo. I do try and avoid the autoroutes as much as possible though, I much prefer bumbling through the deserted villages you always see in France. Can be a bit slow going, mind
