1st time GOBA rider wondering what's important?   Message List

Re: [gobagroup] 1st time GOBA rider wondering what's important?

One thing that I haven't seen mentioned yet is sunscreen. If you don't want a
"GOBA/Bike rider" tan, you should have a heavy sunscreen or long pants, keep in
mind the funky tan from your gloves, as well! All the other suggestions that
I've read have been great and though I've only been on one GOBA ride, it is a
fantastic experience. The host cities were very gratious and we are welcomed
with open arms. Plan on taking advantage of the evening entertainment or what
ever activities the host city provides. Last year was a blast for my children
and myself. Above all, train, train, train. This is supposed to be a hilly
ride. Enjoy!!!

have learned...what's important...what's not needed. When I think of
trying to sleep on hard ground (scares me more than the ride!!) All I
want is to get clean...and sleep good at nite. So any
advice...anything!...clothes... tent, sleeping bag... chair etc?? I'm
wide open!

Sunscreen would never have occurred to me because I have a "bike rider" tan even in February. It's a running gag with non-riding friends who laugh about it and...
