As my wife and I plan our first cross-country trip (including the stop in Prescott for SWTF) I find that a lot of folks in my CDC riding group are simply appalled that I am planning on taking two weeks plus a couple of days to do it. Many of them are planning on attempting the CC50 (coast to coast in 50 hours) this spring. Perhaps it is just me, but I don't get it. Endurance motorcycling seems to me a lot like saying
"I flew to Disney world and ran through the whole thing in an hour"
or
"I paid my fees, carried my clubs, and ran the entire golf course without ever pausing taking a stroke."
What am I missing here? I want to enjoy the ride, savor it even, not endure it.
