Well, wish me luck!

Tomorrow is the ride. It looks like 100% chance of rain (possible Thunderstorms) at the start, temp about 62°F. After 10 am or so the chance of rain drops down to 60% and the temp will go up to a balmy 64°F. In the afternoon, when I turn back to the North, the wind will kick up to a 15 mph headwind.

So I got the weather going for me!!

I ended up getting a Detours High Tail EXP UL for the ride so I can carry way more stuff than I should take. Funny I ride centuries with 2 waterbottles, a tube, co2, and two tire levers, eating a PB&J at lunch and only drinking water, but looking at 200K I was looking at taking tripple the stuff.

Anyway, after reading multiple posts on what to pack, I am keeping it light. Same as above, but throwing in a raincoat, some extra chamois cream, couple extra tubes and CO2, and some gu. Control points are at gas stations with food, so I am not too worried. Thanks, everyone for the advice.
