    Well, our version of a porta potty is to duck down into a slough or to go behind a farming implement left in the field.

    Are you kidding? ALL THE TIME. It actually varies from a high of once an hour to sometimes every three-four hours, but it is always a major issue for me. Bladder the size of a pea. And once I start drinking...oh boy.

    Porta-potties??? Where??? There aren't any around here, that's for sure! What a great concept! (but who would pay for them??)

    But there are LOTS of trees and woods and bushes around here and it's not too hard to find a hidden spot in the fields and bushes right off the side of the road. I find if I lay my bike right down in the tall grass instead of leaning it against a tree, then motorists won't see it, slow down, or wonder who's (free?) bike it is.
    I just pee fast and use some leaves or grass. I avoid the poison ivy though.
    I can usually do up to a 3 hour ride without going.

    Construction companies and logging truck weighing stations! Sometimes the county, for their county parks.
