I look at 600ks as really long weekend cycling trips. Oh sure, there's rough moments but overall I love them. Here in OR they usually have an overnight control so if you're moving along at a good clip you can sleep for a few hours. A couple of times I've managed like 4 to 5 hrs sleep. Once I got barely an hour and a half and that was rough. I think I finished with like 45 minutes to spare. That was my all-time roughest ride ever. Triple digit temps both days and lots of climbing on the first day.
