Looks like I can make this one for sure Out of curiosity, how many miles is the ride? I'm not afraid of 500+ mile days, but I like to plan ahead and pack a large enough supply of water and snacks (power bars etc) to last the whole day; I learned the hard way that an empty stomach and too little water can bring on fatigue very easily, and fatigue and riding are a recipe for disaster Can't wait to ride with you guys! Considering that this is finals week for me...I'm going to need a good ride come Saturday. See you all at 9...look for the filthy, busted up 650 Also, I personally plan on wearing full leathers...any time you're out in the twisties all it'll take is bit of gravel or a suicidal gopher to send you off the road and into a tree or something, regardless of the pace
