Confession - Advice About Distances

Old Bear · 02-28-2013, 08:21 PM

Okay, I confess. I haven't rode a bike more than a hundred miles in one sitting in decades. And that trip when I did nearly resulted in serious trouble with my boss at the time (US Army!). Now I am considering riding to Houston, TX for the annual convention in May. That would be about 770 miles. I was thinking (

) that if I split that over two days (close to 400 miles a day) it would be reasonable. In the cage, I know I could still push that in a single day, but I'm gonna guess that isn't practical on two wheels. My question is, for you riders that get to do long rides, what is your common routine?
