-Pack gear for 0F to 110F. You'll likely see them all.
-Take how far you think you can ride in a day, cut about two hours from that, and plan your daily trips accordingly.
-Separate your gross wet stuff from your clean stuff. I'd put them in different bags even. Right saddle dirty, left saddle clean.
-Your clean clothes should go in a trash bag or something truly waterproof. Cause, your waterproof bag will leak.
-Plan your days to avoid major metro centers during rush hours (6-9 and 3-6). Cages get stupid then...
Here's a post from one of the greatest riders I ever knew. His posts still help me today. The guy got ran off the road by a chick in a SUV before I ever got to meet him IRL.
Shoot when you going? I might be in if your looking for company. Going riding with three buddies this weekend. Planed out a boulder canyon ride and getting coffee first. We are heading out Saturday the 12 of March.
We went from Colorado to Canada last year and had gear from our heavy liners (jackets & pants) to shorts!
Ride safe...and we'll look foward to a ride report when you get back
Going for a ride sounds pretty cool if the weather is good.
What kind of things should i bring? I'm only going 1000 miles each way for a total of 2 days and staying 2 where I'm headed. food? luggage? gas station planning? i get like 150 miles a tank with my power commander.
