I am considering going for a long distance ride this spring. I live in Phoenix and my parents live in Salt Lake City and I want to ride up to them. My dad, being as cool as he is, owns a Triumph T-bird as well as an old Velocette project in pieces in his garage. I want to go for a few rides with him around the mountains of SLC. So the question is:
What are your suggestions for long distance riding? Equipment, bike set up, things to bring..... whatever it is, gel seats, flat fix, heated gloves, chapstick.
Also, I know there are many members out there that can ride from LA to Portland, Maine with only a Do-Rag and a pack of Lucky Strikes but that's not me. The distance is just under 700 miles and I figure I would try to do about 6 hour days or so. Depending on how I feel. Any advice would be great.
