I did my 2nd SS1000 this past Saturday. Again in just under 17hrs. I haven't rushed during these rides and don't plan out my gas stops. Just kinda start looking for a gas station at around 185-200 miles or so when getting low. After I fill up using cc I pull up to the station and go inside to get me a bottle of water. Drink my water, eat a little beef jerky, pee, then back on the road for the next 200 or so miles. My gas stops are 20 minutes or less. I never stop for a meal.....just repeat the above scenario until the end of the ride.
Although I feel like I'm making good time while riding when I get back home and crunch the numbers the next day I find I've never been on BBG pace. I would like to maybe try a BBG this fall and would like some advice on making better time. The speed limits during my past two SS1000 have been 70mph with some 65mph mixed in. I usually travel about 3-5mph over. I'm just trying to figure out how to cut enough time off my pace to do a BBG??? I don't really "dilly dally" just eat, drink & pee then back on the road. I've read where most BBG riders have every gas stop pre-planned out but in my mind I don't see how this would make a huge difference.
Any advice from you successful BBG riders?
Thanks much,
Dan
