I've had a few discussions recently with another woman about planning bike routes that include frequent enough potty breaks for some of the older men in the group. She tends to think it's not really that important of an issue since they can just find a tree somewhere, but I've maintained that we never know when other folks on a group ride might need to stop more often. This thread is providing some good information and validating my efforts to find bathrooms in some areas where they tend to be few and far between -- I've spent more than a few hours studying online maps in search of stores and gas stations and then driving around to visit them and confirm whether they have public restrooms or not. Of course part of my motivation is that sometimes I have an off day and need to stop more than normal, but it's useful to know that there might be one or two silent sufferers in the group, or women who look at the route in advance and decide they can't join the ride due to infrequent stops.
