Too many projects, too little time

I am no ironbutt certified rider yet, and nor do I care. But it was definitely an achievement to be able to pull off a ride-till-empty-tank that I always dreamed about. I normally stop for a little drink or stretching out every 100 miles on a long ride, but this time having already done a 140-mile non stop record, I decided to push a bit further. This was a sheer test of mental stamina since I was physically fine with no drowsiness at all. I could feel the urge to be complacent and stop after 150 miles, but something in me kept me calm and going. It was a great meditation as well, riding in silence (thanks to earbuds) for 2 hours and 50 minutes at no less than 70 mph on I-5, from Gorman to Santa Nella, covering a record 212 miles for me.

Some long distance riders only stop for fuel but I think I won’t be doing this kind of thing all too often unless on sedate interstates.
