[Water Warrior 2]

Good for you Bill. One must really do a few shake down rides before going for a long tour. I made the really stupid mistake of basing my first long distance ride on all of my experience around home and the weather I chose to ride in. My biggest mistake was not having adequate/proper riding gear for the weather conditions. The bike doesn't care about weather conditions but the human body can take a real beating on a moving bike with little or no protection. If possible, plan for a day off from riding and just chill out.
