[QUOTE="escapefjrtist, post: 1122096, member: 238"] First and foremost -- [B]Plan the ride and ride the plan[/B]. For SS1K's, conventional wisdom is leave at 3 - 4 AM, keep the hammer down and you're easily done by midnight or so. With your rest stop in the middle, you haven't left much time for the unexpected. Traveling with a passenger will increase the complexity as you both need to be on the same [stopping] cycles. Keep in mind you don't need to run that hard to make a SS1K, BUT you must keep moving as stops hurt the moving average and are hard to make up. Try for a couple 5 - 600 mile warm up rides to see what needs fixing before the real thing... Good luck and let us know how it turns out! --G [/QUOTE]
