It is sort of a "different strokes" thing, though - some people don't like to stop, at least not for very long at all. I like to get off and do some stretches and get a drink (and I drink while I"m riding, too), but if I'm by myself then I'll "rest" by just slowing down for a while. Reckon it does nice things to that built-up stuff Road Raven wa stalking about ;-)
