The rotors cool quickly enough that you don't even have to make a day of it. Five minutes of riding with some hard stops and a little bit of dragging here and there will get you what you need. I usually stop just after bedding in a new set of pads and make sure the temperatures aren't insanely high and that the fronts are more or less in the same neighborhood. Stop for 30-60 minutes between runs and the rotors will have cooled completely.Day1
I was going to just use the rear brakes, say riding around in hills and flat areas and then measure the temperature on all 3 rotors.
Day2
Only use the front brakes.
