2 weeks off but moving ahead

 After 2 very wet weeks*and no pilgrimage progress,  i am rearing to go.  (*not rain,  but threat of floods).

Today,  i am hoping to take a 1.5hr train ride to Ourimbah, ride to the coast passing through Forresters Beach, Terrigal, Kingcumber,  Ettalong and finally Woy Woy for the train home.  A long day traveling,  with a total of 54k on the folding bike.  

But the reason I'm say here typing instead of prepping is thatI I am feeling a shift  in my  cycling potential.  A few weeks ago I knew I could ride 60k a day, then go in a heap for the next day.  Now after doing a few 60 days (admittedly a week apart), amd tracking these together across G00gle M4ps, I  reckon I ready and willing to push to the next stage ie: non stop short touring. Like,  for days of 40 to 60 k each.  The chinks in this devious plan are; a) butt tenderness,  and b) depending on a folding bike for car and train travel.  

So, do I go on a bigger bike and push through the butt soreness and hope I don't met a cranky train driver?  Kind of the Bugger It Option. The Worst Cases Scenario is standing on a station, unable to sit down and having no transport option.  

Or, use the folder heavily laden with camping gear? This would be heavy and awkward pedaling, but at any point I could pull the pin (when my touche is too tender), and grab a train home.

A way out there option would be to get a recumbent trike and just gobble up miles pout and back, from my back door.  Or going out, putting the trike in storage, getting back too a car and driving out to retrieve the trike.  That would undermine the no carbon thing.  Perhaps puck loop routes from home,  or go out a long way with a driver and tour the long way home.
