Copy/pasted from Lisa's blog:
Things I would do differently:
1) Not go in March
2) Bring my wool T-shirt (which I have done on every other ride, with exception of the one ride where I needed it)
3) Bring a paper map so I could have made adjustments easier to my 3/4 planned route
4) Buy battery powered gloves
5) Plan a route where there was more twisties. I will have to practice that-clearly it is an art I have not mastered.
Lisa, if you follow #1, you don't need to worry about #2 or #4.
As far as #5, well, next time you ride through AZ make sure you go through the middle part.
