Only small rollers Mimi - do not panic - no real hills - slight gradual upgrades - that look like flat, but feel like you are climbing a bit. That is all!

Ditto on the rest stop food. Be sure to carry your nutrition with you! (Unless you can survive on water, orange slices, and bananas, and maybe the Krispy Kreme's at the first creek crossing.)

last saturday in tucson i just wore arm warmers, and they came off at about 9 am. i dont wear gloves either, DH had arm and knee warmers and a vest but he peeled those along the way. last year the morning was cold for standing around but i do believe its warmer this year. as we left the hotel for the saturday ride at 6:30 am the weather channel said it was 54 but i wasnt even a little bit cold (and i am a total cold-weather wuss!). tucson's still way high 80s in the day and 50s at night. we went out for a walk around 10 last saturday nite and were still in shorts and t-shirts. i'd second the advice to bring arm and knee warmers, even a vest, then peel as ya go. seeya there!!!

So where do you guys put all these clothes that you peel off? I can only fit something small in my back pocket...

Not to worry.. Unless they are trucking them in there are no krispy kremes to be had in AZ. They all closed about a year ago..
