Wow, thanks for all of the suggestions. Moe, I will take all of your information and use it wisely, most helpful.
I don't ride with MP3 players. Maybe someday I will invest in the MP3 earplug set up that I saw online a while ago but til then I ride with just earplugs and my thoughts. At times I wish I had tunes to distract me when I have a horrible Katy Perry song in my head or what not but mostly I just enjoy clearing the cobwebs out when I ride.
Ya, the ride isn't that long, or that tough in the grand scheme of things but it should be beautiful and the end result is worth it. Thanks to everyone for the info. I'll post pics this spring after my ride.
