I'd be interested to see fatigue on a bike graphed against distance.I think it's parabolic...X= distanceY=fatigue
The bike ran perfect the whole 1100miles.Only issue, at around the 800 mile mark, my ass burst into flames..
Still, given my druthers, most trips would be backroads and maybe 300-400 miles a day at most.
Nowdays I can't ride for very far at a time. Right before Thanksgiving I rode my V-Strom 360 miles to deliver it to the new owner and that about wiped me out for a couple of days. Parkinsons and copd will do that to ya. What I used to be able to do doesn't matter any more. Most of my rides now are day rides of about a hundred - hundred fifty miles max. I stop alot, then it takes a day of sleep to recover. It's worth it.
* I'm sure there are other factors that I'm not thinking of right now, but those are the big ones and that last one can't be understated.
Don't you mean "overstated"
I did a 903 mile day - north Georgia to Ontario - this past August and could have kept going. It was a well-planned ride and I pre-loaded fluids for 3 days in advance, packed the saddle bags strategically and had a great ride. The same ride 2 years ago took a lot more out of me because I had not prepared properly.
1,000 mile days are as easy as having sex in prison.Tex
Yeah, and leave you just as sore !!!
I'm just gonnad take both your words on it as you're obviously talking from a frame of reference to which I can't relate. [emoji848][emoji15][emoji43]
Yep, you got the main thrust of my point...
