Pooped

[lwrydr]

I went on the Heart of Wa ride this past weekend and put 947 miles on the trike. But I guess i'm getting old or just out of shape or both cause i'm still trying to get over it. Don't get me wrong, I had a great time but I guess I need to stop and rest more or take shorter rides. Another thanks to Murphy Brown and her helpers for putting this all together.

Glad y'all had a good time!

There's an old saying that goes...'You can sleep when you get home.'

Have a nap for me...

 

[Chupaca]

Slow down..!!

If you're wearing an open face helmet, short sleeves, etc., which exposes a lot of skin, dehydration can set in pretty quickly. This will really take a toll and wear you out. Too much sun adds to body stress. Also, if you're not wearing ear plugs the constant noise will also wear you down.

It can be a combination of things that you don't realize that will tire you out more quickly.

Murphy Brown an her gang put on a great event, hope there are more to come will attend them for sure. Squaered Away worked like crazy making sure everyone got the bikes done. Great people hard working an tell you about the job. Great ride captains as well.:bowdown::firstplace:

I know exactly how you feel as I feel the same way if I ride for 5-7 hours in a day.

During the winter I fitted Givi brackets & side cases to my '08 GS with the anticipation of a couple of nights away. Now the time is ripe for that I am finding excuses not to do it. I'm afraid that after my first day's run I will have to hole up in a hotel for two more to recover.

Strange that, because wifey & I very recently returned from a two week auto tour of NY, PA, MD, VA, NC, TN, MS,LA, AR, KS, OK, MO, IL, IN & home. 4,500 mile & I wasn't a bit tired.

The Spyder just exhausts me. Maybe not too surprising as I'm almost 75.

What Ron said. Wife and I did 560 two weeks ago. That was over 5 days. Ride home from last stop was 150 miles with rest breaks. We were pretty tired when we got home. Riding a motorcycle (roadster) takes more mental and physical effort. Coupled with dehydration and noise, it will tire you out more.

 

[Rockwall]

Nearly 1,000 miles is a ton of miles for anyone. Sounds like a great trip!:doorag:

Kudo's to that Ron. Dehydration and noise are the worst. Stop every 50-70 miles, stretch and always take a drink. Ear plugs will do wonders for fatigue.

Wife and I are good for about and hour and a half before we stop for awhile.
