2018 Rally Location ---> POLL

[willtill]

I hope to do this ride with Will .
I am going to be in my 70s and will need the strength of the young bloods to keep
me in the saddle.
Have been riding since 1965 and I feel this ride will be a good topper..

You will do this ride with me. You're a beast in the seat. You set the example for the young bloods to follow.



for some of the the rest who've not done a long ride... it's prudent to:

1. Pop a couple of Advil's or Ibuprofen's each day at the start of each leg.
2. Stay hydrated.

A 600-700 mile ride in one day can be done by anyone if they push it. Waking up the next morning and knowing that you are not even half way will test (some) of your mettle; if you have not done this type of riding. Throw in a little bad weather and...

Light at the end of the tunnel... that's where we are riding to. Colorado is beautiful. I miss the West (grew up in Scottsdale/Phoenix) back in the day... will be good to see the other half of the country again

I will turn 67 on my way back from Cortez, I've been doing it ass backwards, I wait till I am sore, never thought about being pain
pre-emptive and taking the drugs before hand.

An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure

Myself and several more I know use Aleve with good results. Has Naproxen in it, the same stuff in prescription anti inflammatory. 3 or 4 before a ride and good for 12 hours. I get sore more now that I'm getting so frickin old.

Will nailed it, always in the AM just before leaving and after there is
something on your stomach.
I take 2 A leave and 2 tramadol for Arthritis.
I travel 5 hundred or so miles a day so will need a few days to get to
Cortez!,

[choptop]

1,400 miles for me, generally do 400 a day, will do the drugs ,before I get on the bike and stretch it out to 500 or so to be able to do it in 2 nights.

Once arrived in Colorado, all pain problems are solved with a stop at the local recreational store .

The forums have been pretty quiet during Thanksgiving week. Now it’s time to start thinking about your trips to Cherokee and/or Cortez and the “Christmas Gifts” that you “need” for these and other trips.

I’m going to Bluetooth, which will also let me get my long overdue new helmet. I think a new windshield is on my list also.

hoping to get a Traxxion suspension before Colorado.
