    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

    Successful people build each other up. They motivate, inspire and push each other. Unsuccessful people just hate, blame and complain.

    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.

    Premedication.

    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!,

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