You'll be fine - big kms on the road is pretty easy compared to the MTB and theres generally heaps of places to get food (service stations)! I just fill my pockets with packet type food like I would for a 24 before heading out and take a couple of bottles... there's usually plenty of places to fill up on all but the most remote rides...
Check out this - 320km in 10hrs or so... coming from a 24 solo background you'll be amazed at just how far you can go on a roadie in much less time![]()
OK, so i have been doing some research on "silly long rides" record breaking ones infact, albeit from a previous era. While we are all online sharing Garmin info on day long trundles cast your mind back to technology, road conditions etc of the late 1930's and have a look at the state to state records from the great man below.
One one word AMAZING!

Not that long.Plenty hills
BTW, any thoughts on my suggested route? I had it suggested to me that Springwood road would be a wiser choice than Bells Line Road.
