some tips that an IBI (iron butt invitational) guy told me for long rides:
don't refuel and eat/use restroom on the same stop. split them up to break up the ride more and keep you from getting sleepy or stiff.
adjust your butt and do it often. if you wait until your butt starts to hurt before you adjust your seating position then you're too late.
if you have a backpack or something, its best to strap it to the tail of the bike instead of wearing it on your back. it'll keep you from getting tired and allow for better handling of the bike. use a cargo net type bungie cord to hold it down and make sure you give it a good test run around town before you head out to ensure it stays put.
