another tidbit from the voice of experience... Porta Potties are at the SAG stop for a reason. Use them. Otherwise if/when you skip one, you may very well end up hunkered behind a small shrub in your road shoes peeing as people (mostly guys) snicker and holler "you OK?" as they ride by yeah, been there and done that. I NEVER skip the porta potties now.

Also, don't forget your Chamois Butt'r... or Assos or whatever... not chafing is a great thing and will make it an enjoyable experience... You can now buy the sample size Chamois Butt'r (REI has them if you have one near you) and carry extra in your seat bag.

Have a great ride and I look forward to hearing how well ya did!
