My wife and I did the one-day version in 2007. It's a great experience. That year pirates were rampant and at some rest stops the volunteers were rationing the remaining food. Bring your own electrolytes if you don't like gatorade. I did it on my Specialized Expedition Deluxe touring bike. It's a great ride for a quickbeam-- it's very flat. Franklyn
