Long Rides
On long runs of 500 miles or more I never stop. I have a vast network of friends, so wherever I am I call one and have them meet me on the road with a can of gas. I can fuel up going down the road and never have to stop. Occasionally I will have them bring me a bologna sammich also.
I stop every couple of hours. \\; During the summer months, staying hydrated (with water) is very important. \\; If I know of a long trip (>\\; 1000 miles), I'll try to do at least 65% of it the first day....leave early. \\; By the second day, the mind and body are not at peak performance and the risk grows. \\; The first goal is to arrive safe and not be stressed over the time taken.
Sometimes I go the a full tank of gas, sometimes I go 30 miles.

average is around 80-100 miles or 1 1/2-2 hrs. Can't comment of highway cruzing...do not do that that long

I base it more on time riding than miles traveled due to different speed limits, road conditions, etc. \\;\\\\\\;\\\\\\\\\\\\\\; Usually stop every 1.5-2 hours.

Rode 852 miles on the last day of trip a couple weeks ago. Stopped every 1 to 2 hours to stretch, drink water and get gas. Never could ride that far on my 2001 GoldWing.
