???....Do you not know many roads? I don't think anyone will get too bored on this year's 1600 offering.
Some wear camel backs, I tend to carry bottles of water along with small bananas and nut bars. Grazing and swigging at stops is usually enough. There's 5 & 6 CP & 2-4 fuels stops on the 1KC's and 11 CP + whatever fuel on the NI1600. The longest leg would be about 270km but many will break that with a fuel stop. Then there's the issue that what goes in must come out......nothing worse than rocking in for fuel, but having to sprint for the dunny first.
This was my biggest day...

Yeah, I'd like to put my bladder in a tank bag

It is a buggar when you drop the overtrousers, unzip, going by feel and sound alone because you can't see past the over jacket, riding jacket, clothing, well conditioned waist, finish, zip up, pull up the over trou and find the front all wet.![]()

If you're gonna get really serious, try one of these... http://www.biorelief.com/freedom-mal...coloplast.html and add a bit of garden hose.
But hey, in reality if you moderate your fluid intake the night before you won't need to stop that often for comfort stops. A couple of bottles of water and maybe one sports drink for the second part of the day, couple of protein bars and you're all sweet.
The east coast is not going to be short of places for pit stops.

The downside of motorcycling is the riders get dehydrated.
Start your LONG ride pre-dehydrated ... and things WILL go bad.
Regular sips if and when you stop ... and a mini Moro bar (or similar) wont hurt either.
If you start thinking you might need a pee soon ... stop and do it while you have time. Odds are ... when you really DO need to "go" ... there will be nowhere you can ...
When life throws you a curve ... Lean into it ...
