Thinking of a 5 day tour, maybe 50 miles per day. Flat terrain in the DelMarva peninsula, Delaware-Maryland-Virginia, although winds can be difficult. I might go the credit card route to get motels and air conditioning every night since it will most likely be in the 90's daily. Since this would be my first tour, and I'm pushing 50, I'd appreciate from the veterans advice on things they vowed never to do again from their early trips. Things you forgot, stuff you didn't need, etc.

Thanks in advance!
