Day one : 50 miles = 50*(1)
Day two : 50 + 0.10(50)=50(1.1)=55
Day three : 55+0.1(55)=55(1.1)=50(1.1)(1.1)
where is the days of riding

On day 60, you're riding 13840 miles. Not really possible.
At that point, you'd have ridden 151740 miles in 60 days.
If you drive at 60mph for 60 days, 24 hours a day you only drive 86400 miles.
