This will be the ride report for the
" the Purple Explorer" build thread.
Me and my wife are leaving Seattle on June 20th and heading for Deadhorse Alaska,the furthest north you can drive on the North American continent.
I will try to update this thread everyday ( when we have cell reception ).
Here is my wifes 94,formerly owned by Pat.

... GEL may be good... but numb ass is numb ass!! .. if anything i would pay attention to doing some warm up lower back stretches in the morning and regularly (when you stop for a break) through the day ... lower back and shoulders/wrists/elbows joints i see as the main hazard area for that much consistent riding.. 

She can sit on a carbon fiber bicycle seat for over 200 miles a day,but this TOTALLY different !!.

Oh yeah SWEET! Be safe, good luck, excited to see the thread develop.

Bought 2 Uclear HBC100 bluetooths last week for the trip.These are really cool if you have a modular helmet because they have NO boom mic or wired mic !!,the mic is in the speakers !!.
