I've done a few 300km days no problem. Looking at doing some 600-1000km days once summer comes along. Should I be worried about something?

Mostly 100KM rides. Going to switch it up a gear when summer arrives. Maybe 300KM.

232 miles in one day.

95% on Gravel/dirt Roads with a few trails thrown in, 5% on the black stuff.

I couldn't walk the next day! Actually, I didn't want to get on the bike for a few days after that.

The gravel was extremely dry and loose, so lots of standing to keep the bike under me. That's what I get for chasing a XR650R.

Oddly enough, the 2009 KLX seat is more comfortable to me than my SV650 seat. Don't know what's up with that, but I ain't complaining.
