• Thinking about it.

    Anyone on here ever do it without stopping? If I do it, I'd like to do the whole thing in one go at a moderate pace, and only stop for a piss the odd time. Stopping for half an hour or more in the middle of it seems a bit silly - I'll just cramp up and feel wrecked getting back on again.

    Few people do it without stopping, as the main attraction of the ride is socialising. The oldest hands do the ride as slowly as possible and stop frequently (outside of built-up areas, please). But do it however you want. You will find people to ride with whatever you do.
