Dunno if I'm describing Zen, but my coping strategy to ride 4000km in a straight line was to plug downloaded current affairs and football podcasts into my ears and disengage brain (Zen like trance?  ).
After every day's riding I couldn't remember what happened in between, other than I must have kept an eye out for petrol stations and camels crossing the road, which with the setting sun in the west was a little tricky. I did it and the bike ended up 4000km closer to the Caucasus region, and home, where I wanted it to be.
