If this is addressed in another post, I am sorry, I did a search and did not see it. I am thinking of doing a ride to FLA or somewhere like that this spring or as soon as the weather breaks. With that said, I have never done more then a day trip on a bike. So my question to the masses is: What should I bring? What should I prepare for? Sure I know I need to be ready for weather, both good and bad, but what else? Are certain hotel chains more bike friendly then others? I am looking for general advice for this.
