I live in California and we have some looooong state roads and for some obscure reason I am strangely in love with the though of the loneliness of enduring the long distance by myself. Last year I strapped on my CamelBak and ran a full marathon in Napa Valley without meeting anyone and without restocking supplies along the way - and I LOVED IT! One of the best runs I've ever done. And now I want to do something similar on the bike.

Any experiences with this? Looking forward to hearing from you all!
