Thanks Smiley. I'm loading up on cliff bars energy drinks and water. All my previos rides were a few hours just screwin around town.

Dean I'm taking back roads. Frontage on 35 heading south would be terrible. I think I can stay away from 35 but down here if your not on a major road your lost. Texas is big.

So no to the Apricots then. What about gels? Anybody have a url for gels? I hear about them.

I'm not to worried about it. I've just never gone this far.

I think I've probably hit 20+ miles screwin around the city on the weekend. And as previously stated industry, My local bike shops suck. there either illiterate potheads or uptight yuppie's that scoff at questions (seriously I asked a dude what a presta valve was like a year ago and he scoffed). I think I'm going to cram 5 hours and water and hope that gets me through.

No but I do have a camel hump satchel thing. It has pretty thick straps but it rubs. That might be uncomfortable.

I have Spots on my road bike for two canteen's and one I plan on filling with water the other I was going to cram a cliff bar and a five hour. Do you have a url for what your talking about Smiley. Thanks for your help by the way.
