Another training ride today, 440ks. Started with the confident rider course then down to Hamilton and back up through Narawahia, up through Pukekawa etc. Lots of good twistys and learned lots. Like its different in heat and I cant seem to get rid of the last 5mm of chicken strip.

Lol I wouldn't worry about chicken strips, the only place you really get the chance to rub them off is on the race track. While our roads are good compared to some of the rest of the world, they weren't designed for racing, or massive lean angles on 'bikes.

Good to hear you had a mint day's riding though!

By the way, I had pizza for dinner... Homemade even! YUM!

Lol, Im happy with where im at as ive got a little in reserve if needed.

But feel I can handle the distance for the weekend. Just need to work out what to take. Dont want to over load the bike but dont want to forget anything important.

Some shorts, jandals, t'shirt, jumper, undies/toiletries, bottle of water, rain gear and whatever motorbike gear you are going to be wearing on the ride. Maybe a pair of draggin jeans or similar if you have some and that should see you fairly well right.

Worse thing I find on a long ride is dehydration and dry skin/lips (Chapstick is the bomb).

Was just going to use my Leathers stuffed full of clothes.

But they may be a bit smelly.
