Length of ride: 44.9 miles from beginning to end and Google maps says it's 1 hour and 17 mins to ride not including the time we stop for breaks and pictures. Which for you ninja 250 people out there, its about a gallon of gas or 3 dollars worth of gas assuming the gas per gallon is $2.79.
You: Leather Jacket + leather gloves (mechanix gloves is a no no) or more if you prefer but you will not come riding in sandals and/or shorts which also includes your 2-up partner in the back seat. A good attitude and any motorcycle. Cars are welcome but they will stay in the very back to sweep. I will be there in full gear which includes textile pants, leather jacket, leather gloves, and boots.
Bike: Tire Pressure is checked and filled if necessary and you have more than enough tire tread to make it through this ride. Bike is in mechanically sound condition.
