[QUOTE=Velocivixen;570643]Hi Beth. Thanks for the suggestions. My friend, who is much older, although more experienced cyclist, did this ride a few weeks ago. She knows where there are "port-a-pottys" around the island. There are cafes, although I doubt they want cyclists to just stop in to pee!

I make it a policy to always buy something, even if it is only a pack of gum, wherever I stop to pee. This is especially appreciated in small out of the way gas stations.

I would think the same thing would apply to restaurants even if it is only a cup of iced coffee to go.

I would keep the sunscreen with me as that much exposure as a first exposure could be chancy, or if it gets warm and you sweat it off.
