I rode to Glastonbury from manchester on my own this year, (http://www.strava.com/activities/160229301) nearly 13 hours moving. I quite enjoy the long hours, gives you time to think about things properly. Plan on doing PBP at some point in the future, probably once i've stopped racing though.

I love the time to think to myself. Sure there are low points where I think about giving up, usually:
but I know I just have to push on through the low points. "let's see how I think in an hour" usually works for me.
Having company helps, I'm far less likely to consider giving up on a ride if I'm riding with someone else, but I've happily done some 400km rides on my own for all but the first 5km or so. I only really rode with someone else for 400km of PBP, so that left 800km of riding on my own (never really more than 100 yards from another rider though, given there were 5000 people doing it).
