Me too. It is nice to ride in the morning and once in a while take the afternoon off to read or swim. I think of them as half days. I much prefer them to rest days.

The exception being that I might take some time if there is something I want to see or do, or if I am sick (that has only happened once). They are not really rest days though. In 73 days on the TransAmerica we took a day off to go ww rafting. On the Southern part of the Sierra Cascades route we took a week to see Yosemite Valley, again not really rest days we were on the go as many hours per day as when on the road. I actually think the hiking might have been harder than riding.
