Man the f**k up :lol
948 miles is the most I've done in one hit. Coped with that by having plenty of short rest stops (coffee, fag, and back on the road), less than 100 miles between stops. Usually, I'll have a little walk around while stopped. A longer break for lunch.
I have found that merino wool boxer shorts make for a much more comfortable experience, although I still get a bit saddle sore on a trip of that length. Last time that was largely due to the heat though, that had been with me throughout a two week tour, riding every day but one. I still have the standard seat, no modifications, on mine, so could probably improve matters there a bit, but it has never seemed that bad (i.e., bad enough to spend money :eek ).
