## Resource

Ultra-long-distance legend Wendy Crockett, Iron Butt Rally champion and million-mile rider, joins Len to break down what it takes to ride 1,000 miles in a day. From hydration and packing light (two months on the road out of a 10x10 pouch) to tire pressure, valve inspections, and why you should never air up to the sidewall number, Wendy delivers wisdom you won't find in any owner's manual. She and Len tackle riding in hurricanes, dodging deer, beating road rage, and the phones-on-the-handlebars debate. She also opens up about raising a daughter who's catching the moto bug and the unforgettable night fireflies, lightning, and fireworks collided during a world-record ride. This one'll keep you sharp, safe, and stoked to ride.
