Comments:

This was my first time here. BIG event with over 12,000 people riding. The news reported 14,000 so who knows. My plan was to stop every 20 miles and refuel. With stops every 10 miles I stopped at the second rest stop and I can't tell you how many people were there. It was crazy!! I decided to keep going and pee off the road in a ditch. The later stops weren't as bad but long bathroom lines. You could get to the water, ice, fruit, cookies, or whatever else you needed easily.
What would you do differently?:

Train for maybe? LOL
