[QUOTE="101stpathfinder, post: 1217874, member: 18625"] Do you have any precise dates that you will be attempting this ride? You should read up on the IBA site concerning long distance tips and "Ride within a ride" rules. Ira Agins is the man if you have any questions concerning your ride rules. I did the Lap of Florida Gold a few years back. Where do you plan your start/finish? Timing is VERY important on this ride. All of the 4 corners are tourist traps, so plan to hit them off hours if possible. How many miles have you ridden in 24 hours? Your seat would be my first concern. Russell Day Long is your answer if you plan on riding long distance. It will be hot by then (Mid 80s already) Plan your Key West leg at night. You will pass right by my home in West Palm Beach. I can help you with most issues you may encounter. Depending on your May timing. I will be riding to Alaska via Arizona, so I will be on the road for 10 days myself. Any questions you have I can try and answer. I also have 3 RDL seats (2 Gen 2) that you will be dying for after 500 or so miles. I have the gear if you need help. You might try practicing riding in heavy downpours for training. You will have forum members all along your route - make contacts ASAP. It is a fun ride if your timing is good! -Tony [/QUOTE]
