Danno and Al:
Thanks to both of you. We are going to do 27 days averaging 120 miles/day at 16.5 MPH. Balanced nutrition will be crucial based on what both of you are posting. I do not have the time to study and set all that good advise into practice------BUT------I am paying good money for an experienced tour leader who has done this about twenty times.
I will surly listen carefully to his advise and follow his example because of this experience and your good advise. Without your advise I may have thought it BS.
Now we know better, don't we?
