Over 3000 miles
Dana's ridden over 3000 miles on his Gold-Rush recumbent bicycle, which looks something like this, although his has a hard seat back, not mesh, and no faring yet:
He got the bike last summer, so did all this distance in about a year. He says he never rides less than 20 miles at a time.
When I rode with him using his old Trek bicycle, I noticed how true it is that recumbent riders have an advantage on the downhills. Surely that advantage would be even greater on a long tour, since you wouldn't end up pinching nerves in your hands or wearing out your rear.
