***You will dehydrate about 5 times faster on the bike.

Pre-hydrate (overhydrate) for three days before the trip to saturate the muscle tissue.

Overhydrate at each gas stop (assume 100 Miles).

Semi loose fitting clothing that you can toss water on to keep you cool.



Definitely consider breaking it up into a couple of days... Think Rain. The Quincy storms originated in Sturgis. >:(




1240 miles in 20.5 hrs.

Not that hard...ya just SIT there!

Looks like (mostly)everybody's giving you a hard time, but I say: B|

Are you riding home, too?

Nice work old man :) I never doubted you for a second :)Be aware that the last 20 miles will be the hardest. Almost home, start to relax a little, concentration can waiver.
You are not now, nor will you ever be, good enough to not die in this sport (Sparky)

How's yours doing?

Start early in the morning (0530) when its cooler and the traffic is lighter. Do a 10 hour shift then stop around 1500 or so, get a beer and a feed, soak your aching arse and relax.

Repeat the next day.

Watch out for drivers on their phones.....they'll nail you if you give them the chance.

Hey, Jim, let us know when you get home.



Since he is incognita, I'm thinking he is at the Mayo Clinic getting his hemorrhoids cut on.

Hey, it was a long ride. :P

JerryBaumchen


Sounds like he's having something other than his hemorrhoids removed! :o

:D

I was wondering what was keeping you from letting us know you were home.

Glad to hear it was a good trip! Post pictures when you have a chance. :)
I wouldn't be surprised to know that there is a great 'Twardo story or two in the mix just waiting to be told! B|

I could be wrong...but I'm bettin' it's a fairly short list of grandpa's who ride 1200 miles in a day on bike to skydive into an airshow! ;):ph34r:

WHO'S an OLD MAN?! >:(B|
