You do realize you will be doing this in one day right? Why the 3 t shirts and extra underwear?

Good luck and have fun!

IIRC, we took pictures of each participant with the witness, along with witness name, addy, and phone number at start and finish location. And wrote mileage down on gas receipts as we went along; the receipts went in the zip lock bag which held a couple of spare pens.

Good luck and ride safe.

PS: "Insurance cards" refers to your state's ins. card, as well as the Canadian non-resident insurance card?

Harleypingman: I have both my regular insurance card and the Canadian card. I advised my friends to do the same, but I'm not sure if they did or not....You can lead a horse to water....... Everyone that didn't have a Passport did get their North American travel card.

PigInaBlanket: It's going to rain, and be cool, this way I have planty of dry things to wear as well as the ability to layer up, as the weather will be a wet mid 60s to mid 70s

We added sunscreen and the first aid kit to the list, as well as Advil

Yea I understand the layering but extra underwear?

I always take a jacket, hoodie, rain suit with me for wet and cold weather when I do these iron butt rides. Then again I only have a small bag on the back of my bike I strap on.

Hey Mikebaby, sounds like a great ride. Just out of curiosity, what saddle/seat to you use?

What, no cash or credit cards? Make sure your credit cards up to date and usable.
You also may want to take along some Motrin or aspirin for pain relief.

Cash was on the list, but I'm sure everyone will have a credit card or two with them. I know that I will.
