Never mind vast farmland, how about the mountainous terrain of North Wales, or Cumbria (North England). Or even the far North of Scotland. It’s often easier to continue than to stop. Arriving at a check point with 15 minutes in hand, early in the morning, and knowing you have to ride all day, get through another night again with minimal sleep, then all through the next day, and into the next night, in order to finish in time. Well beyond Type 2.
