Bonneville America Forums Forums Rider Safety Forums Riding Technique SaddleSore 1K Tips

I've registered for the Redwing 19 charity SaddleSore ride here in VA. It takes place in four more weeks and was wondering if anyone out there could give a few tips from their 1K or long distance rides. I'll be with a group of six others and the only Triumph rider. Looks like we'll be stopping every 150 miles for a gas and nearly the whole route is superslab. I'm not too worried about packing tools, unless someone really thinks different (maybe a patch kit). The only things I could think of were:
- chain lube (may not even worry about it..spray down before and after the ride)
- ziploc bag for gas receipts
- sunscreen lotion
- change of clothes if possible rain that day
- couple of Advil

I have done a couple of 500+ mile rides but all were daytime rides. One question I do have to the harder core riders is how have you felt after the sun goes down after riding hard all day? My concern is simply cold. Being tired, worn and lowered body resistance is it smart to pack the chaps and maybe a sweater? Or would that be overkill? Thanks for any inputs!
