[QUOTE="BkerChuck, post: 1358602, member: 29320"] I've only done 2 so far and am hardly an expert but will throw in my .02. I found it helpful to plan all of my stops. Even the gas stops. By doing this it becomes a series of 5 or 6 smaller rides and I can easily see where I am against my proposed time line. I budgeted time for a fuel/bio/snack/water break at each stop. This enabled me to have a goal in mind with an allotted period of down time, about 7-10 minutes max. I knew at each stop where I was against a master time line and could easily adjust accordingly. I sometimes have back issues so I take ibuprofen before I start my ride and take one or 2 more at each stop to stay ahead of the discomfort. I also try to get off the bike and stretch when I get fuel to minimize any issues. I use a tank bag and keep one bottle of water and some easy to handle snacks in there. With my modular helmet if I get caught up in traffic I can catch a few sips or a quick bite at a traffic light. Beast of luck and I look forward to the report! [/QUOTE]
