[QUOTE="Rocnsanman, post: 1449525, member: 92637"] I agree with you, to a point. When the ride becomes a torturous event rather than an enjoyable adventure then who wants or needs that? I did a ride up the coast of Northern California to The Lost Coast back in 2021 when we were having wildfires in California. On our last day we ended up in Reno, NV with 610 miles left to go to get home. The next morning we started our ride in smoky conditions, at times so bad visibility was 1/4 mile at best. The temperatures were in the 100 degree range, occasionally hitting 104. There were many traffic stops as fires were flaring up by the sides of the road. Extreme heat. We did it, stopping to hydrate and battling fatigue, we did it. Worst ride of my life but we had no alternative but to push on if we wanted to get home. When I've done my 16 hour, 1180 trips I did them in ideal conditions, leaving early morning, stopping for an occasional cat- nap and for the most part stress free. I still enjoy these types of rides and I just turned 70 years young. [/QUOTE]
