Have fun, stay visible. The bigger issue than equipment is fitness if you ask me, ride as much as you can before your tour if you aren't already
I am trying to ride at least 100 miles a wek but work/family/sleep seem to get in the way
If its not those 3 things the weather goes to crap and I'm all done
thanks to all that helped
