I remember chatting to the bloke who had just gone into the record books for the fastest time round the world on a bike, the thing that stuck with me was what he said about sleep, he said the first time he would fall asleep whilst riding it was a moment, the second time would be a couple of seconds then he knew he needed to stop as the third time he would be out for 30 seconds or so.Jerzy Woking wrote: ↑Thu Mar 30, 2023 10:25 pm
Think the first time I was aware of them was seeing one on Nick Sanders round the World bike (Yamaha R1?) 20 years ago
He used to take powernaps of 15 minutes or so, whenever he needed them, still sat astride the bike.
I do know that on some of the trips he ran, if you weren't ready to depart a location on time, he would just leave. Likewise at stops throughout the day.
His early trips were not holidays, just A-B rides as quick as they could be done. He has mellowed somewhat on his tours and trips now, but age catches up with us all.
