Hello all,
I'm preparing for a BBG attempt in a couple months and I was wondering if anyone had any good time management advice for that ride. I've done a few SS1000s and I've gotten in the habit of walking around a bit during fuel stops, eating snacks, taking pictures, etc. Sometimes I'll spend 15-20 minutes at a stop. Doing the math for a 1550 mile day, if my average moving speed is 70mph, that leaves me about an hour and a half (being a little conservative) for all of my stops. My bike can generally go 130 miles between fill-ups, meaning my ride will most likely have 12-13 stops. If I'm figuring this right, my stops should be under 7 minutes. I'm thinking I might not even get off the bike at most stops. Just fill up and snap photo of receipt with odometer and then off I go. Is this sustainable over an entire day or should I find a way to increase my average speed or decrease my number of stops?
Any tips from the experts would be sincerely appreciated.
