[QUOTE="travel_man, post: 1181488, member: 7153"] You have already gotten great advice from many here so my advise will just to be second some of what has already been said. [LIST][*]Plan a "easy" route, all interstate even an out and back route is good. [*]Know the route and road as much as you can. [*]Visit the states DOT traffic and construction websites that you are going to pass through for any large scale construction that may make you choose a different route. [*]Be sure you are very comfortable on the bike and that you like riding the bike. [*]Have some way to break up the monotony of the mile after mile. I use XM radio and check things like the weather. [*]Break the ride up into smaller rides in your mind, set 300 mile goals as a way to keep your spirits up as there will be ups and downs while riding a BBG. [*]Drink plenty of fluids and not so much food. [*]Have at least a 250 mile range. [*]Finds ways to stay alert. [*]Set a pace on the road and keep it. Do not fall in behind traffic and go mile after mile like that. Keep the pace you set. [/LIST] One more, be sure you like to ride long distance.
