Kalimac: Do you find an explicit reference in The Hobbit to the number of days it took to reach Rivendell?

I certainly got the impression that the journey in The Hobbit was a lot quicker, but on reflection I always thought that this was simply because Bilbo and the Dwarves were on a leisurely, fairly uneventful trip about which there simply wasn't as much to say as about the one in LotR.
