Long Rides
I was wondering how often people stop when making really long rides. I had to do a 750 mile/one-day run last week from South Carolina to Missouri. The first 200 miles were fine, but after that I found that I needed to stop about every 100 miles or so. No matter how I sit my knees get to aching after a bit, and I just have to get off a walk for a couple of minutes. Also, I knew that I had to make the whole run, so I didn't want to wear myself out too quickly.

RE: Long Rides
I usually stop just for gas if I need to be somewhere by a certain time. But I don't hesitate to stop if I feel I need a break. Better to be safe than sorry. Some days I can go longer some I can't. A lot of variables, enough sleep, weather, how much water you're drinking, etc.

Only YOU know what is good for you. \\; 750 mile/day you have my respect.
