T-Rock... EXACTLY... I'll be packing my Textile pants to cover shorts to watch the race in. I don't have another jacket so I'll still be wearing my A* one...

I've ridden with jeans, gloves, jacket helmet and hiking boots many times... don't think it's squidly... flipflops, Tank tops, and shorts are squidly... and in the end it's your choice anyways...



Drewpy... I'm shoot'n for 40k by the end of 09... I'm at... 6 (I think)

just a thought, I can pick up or have somewhere one of those cables that lock to which we can attach any gear we dont want to carry around...have used it down here with great results, and I HATE carrying my gear around so I will def have it on me!

No, what i was thinkin was jeans, boots, shirt, helmet and gloves, with no jacket. I didn't understand the packing it part at first. I need to get some more luggage before then though.

Yeah I got it about 2 months ago with just under 42K on it. 2k miles in 2 months isn't too bad I don't think.

I did 678 miles one day and I wore my 1-piece. I went from Vegas to Cali canyons and back to Vegas. I would wear my 1-piece if I was you, but I don't know if you have one or not. Maybe rain gear would be needed on your trip, too.
