Unfortunate Rules Of The Tour!
This is " a bikers bike tour."
1)
Due to the length of this ride and the time constraint of only one
week ,
this ride will have limited participants and no passengers.
It has been our
experience that passengers need leg stretching
and bathroom breaks more often than riders.
2)
Some days may be over 500 miles.
If you can't do up to 500
miles in a day this ride may not be for you.
3)
100 - 125 miles, 1 1/2 to 2 hours between stops .
If your bladder or gas
tank cant go 125 miles/2 hours you can either
carry a diaper and a gas can or stay home.
4)
Stops will be
for no
more than 30 minutes
except
for meals.
5)
Riders must bring rain gear and be able to ride in the rain
(if need be).
6)Whiners & cry babies will be humiliated & taunted no exceptions.
