I am an early riser; always have been. Normally up and about at 0300 or so. So, I intend to head out nlt that 0300 on a Saturday morning. Since I live in a rural area of east Parker County, Texas and will be heading west straight out to Sierra Blanca, Tx, I don't have the urban traffic issue to be concerned with. Takine another members advise I have planned a new course staying further south. From home in Aledo, Texas onto Sierra Blanca, southeast to Fort Stockton, up to Monahans and east on 20 back home. Total miles by google maps is 1037 or a little more. Anyhow, I have planned in all the guidance received above except a tank bag. Never had one but may have to get one just for this ride. I have a full set of heated gear and will most likely need it especially at the high altitudes of West Texasl; hope not but if I do, that's ok. I am prepared for the "while riding hydration" system. An insulated gallon jug with a 1/4 id hose to draw from. I haven't figured out how to empty my bladder yet while riding but am working on that. Ha Ha. Hope nobody is behind me when I do. I have a plan and am anxious to hit it. Sure hope someone decides to participate but if not, oh well.</p></blockquote><p></p>
