I'm sure that with a trailer, those with small children could also evacuate this way. If you can keep a child interested, they can also ride for 8 hours. I remember riding to a local park where the undeveloped area behind it had become an informal dirtbike jump area. My friends and I would ride our bikes around here from breakfast until dinner, not noticing the emptiness in our bellies, the time that had slipped by, or the amount of sustained effort we were putting out: It was fun, so we noticed nothing else.

Of course, I'd be challenged to keep my 7-year-old son interested in riding for that long.
