The routine is the same regardless of your cycling aptitude.
Recently (well, last December) did a 220km ride from Sydney down to Jervis Bay.

The route I took meant that access to water was never a problem. I planned for 'dinner' at lunch-- which happened to be the same time I rode through larger towns/cities with Hungry Jacks and supermarkets.
It was the first time I'd done any long riding in 4 years.
