driving 10km home after riding a 400
Yeah I had a scary experience with this after doing a 400 as well that really taught me a lesson. Fell asleep at the wheel for a split second. Ended up sleeping in a lay-by for an hour before continuing. Always take sleeping bag now to longer Audaxes just in case.

I suppose where I am is that not many people die from riding a bike when tired; if you know what you are doing you can usually manage it / we all know when we really need to sleep; but it's not very elegant to glorify the sleep dep side of things.
Long thread on yacf at the moment which is about a guy who wrote off his car driving 10km home after riding a 400. He was fine while he was on his bike!
