test rides

[sacred_dog]

I do a 150-175 mile ride every couple of days.

is THAT considered preparation for a long haul?

I have never experienced ANY fatigue of any sort from those rides.

also,
is it possible to stop and camp along the way? if so, where do you recommend pitching a tent for free?

I will be heading to sturgis from either NY state OR Massachusetts.

thanks,
Tim

150-175 isnt really that much but every couple days is good, In my opion Id try and step up the miles to 300-400miles a day if you preping for a long trip, we normally try to pull 600-700 a day on our long days but were gearing up for the 1000 and 1500 miles in a day for IBA. which 1000 miles in 24hrs is a min for iron butt. good luck

Good info,

I did a few 200 mile days in preparation for an 850 mile ride that was a final prep for my BB1000. The prep miles were too short and relaxed, imho.
