Same. Long for me is 60-80 and not done as rapidly as possible. It's a 12-14 hour day with a group of friends. We stop often, but I might eat once at some point before we stop for lunch and eat something again after lunch before getting back to the starting point.
Someone posted a picture of what they carry on a "long" ride. It showed what I would carry on a week long trip.
