Is that what you ladies do? When I ride 50 to 100 miles, I will certainly need to make some stops!
On a supported ride, I'll just lay my bike in the grass, chain up.

Unsupported means that when I stop, it'll be at a store or restaurant that has exterior walls. (Or a cornfield... where depending on how far I have to walk to get to the corn, I may rest my bike against the cornstalks or lay it in the grass again. )
