I have just come off a 4 hour skid, I skidded down from Sheffield, I only had to do a 3 mile sprint to get enough speed up for the whole skid, I only stopped once for a sandwich and coffee just outside Nottingham (left my bike skidding in a circle in the car park).
Had to re-shoe a couple of times on the hoof, but I recommend Gatorskins™ for any skids longer than 5-10 miles.
