Getting Ready For Jacksonville!

Been a while since I posted anything here... but now I am looking for my first trip of 2008!

I am planning to do the MTF Ride IN to the IBA Party in Jacksonville... The Party is Friday the 7th, I plan to leave work on teh 5th and head down near Newburg or Middletown NY. I will get some sleep their and pull out early Thursday am for a SS 1000 down to Jacksonville, currently looks to be about 1075 miles.

The biggest issue will be the weather here in NH and New England. We just got more snow and this is less than 4 weeks away. I have picked upa Tourmaster Transition II Jacket and a Warm & Safe heated Liner along with heated gloves. That gear along with face protection and thermals with layering should keep me warm enough. ( I am hoping)

I have a full check list done and am gathering everything together now so I account for all I think I will need. I do plan to have all the tracking services and JOTT active for whern I make the trip. It will probably be a week or 2 before I re-activate them all.

I am excited about this one.. an SS1000, meet up with many of the MTF that I only see once in a blue moon... got my party tickets, my hotel room and just counting the days... say a little prayer for no snow!
