The type and amount of food and gear that you bring are highly dependent upon the sort of trip that you're taking. If you'll only be gone for the day, then you'll need much less gear than if you plan to be on the road for the week, the month, or the year. Set your vision and check your expectations. Remember that you will need to carry everything you use. Look at a map, and chart out where you want to go. If you have a destination in mind, figure out an exciting way to get there. If your vision is looser, try to at least pick an initial goal to shoot for. The average long-distance cyclist goes between 40–60 miles (64–97 km) each day, although it is quite common to tackle much longer and much shorter distances.  You may find that you start off cycling shorter distances, and work your way up into the 100+ kilometer (62+ mile) range. Plan this gradual strengthening into your route. Carry a map, a standalone GPS, or a smartphone with downloaded maps of the areas you'll bike through. Think ahead to possible stops in towns, rest stops, and camping locations. Have contact plans in case of emergencies. Even if you're in great physical shape, it is still wise to ease into the routine of biking monstrous distances each day. Start with shorter trips close to home. and gradually work your way up to longer distances.  If you have been off your bike for a long time, even a mile or two will help you get back into the saddle. Several shorter trips will also give you the opportunity to road-test your gear. If you are training for a long-distance bicycle race, try to train up to a ride that is 2/3 to 3/4 the distance of the planned event. If you are riding a century (100 miles), for instance, work up to the point that you can cycle 60-75 miles in one go. If you've gotten to this point, you're effectively ready for the big ride.

Q: right away. Have a talk with your partner about who you’d both like to have by your sides on the big day. Once you know who you’d like to be in your party, contact them as soon as you can (preferably at least 9 months in advance) to start working out the details.  Depending on how large and elaborate your wedding is, your party may include just 1 or 2 people (e.g., a maid of honor and a best man) or several (such as bridesmaids, groomsmen, a ring bearer, and a flower girl). The larger your wedding party, the more schedules you will have to coordinate. You will also need to discuss whether or not you can help cover costs such as travel and clothing expenses for your party members. Don’t feel the need to have a wedding party at all, if you’d prefer to keep things really simple! Go through the list of guests that you and your future spouse put together, and decide if there is anyone else you would like to add to (or cut from) the list. Make sure you have up-to-date contact information for everyone on the list.  As you continue the planning process, you can use this list to keep track of information such as which guests still need invitations and who has already RSVP’d. Try to have your final guest list written up by at least 9 months before your wedding date. Save the date cards aren’t an absolute must, but they’re a helpful way to give family and friends a heads up and give them time to clear their schedules. It will also give anyone who can’t attend a chance to let you know well ahead of the wedding.  If you’re having a destination wedding or planning your wedding at a time when it might be hard for many people to attend (such as during a major holiday), try to send out save-the-dates 9 months to a year in advance. Do a search online for fun and creative save-the-date ideas, like custom magnets or buttons. If you have a wedding website, you can put the address on your save-the-dates. Once the wedding is about 2 months away, send out invitations to all the people on your guest list. Make sure you include the place, date, and time of the ceremony and reception, as well as the names of the people you are inviting.  If you don’t have a big budget for wedding invitations, you can save money and add a personal touch by making your own. Your invitations should also include RSVP cards and additional important information, such as dress code and menu options (if applicable). As you receive RSVPs, keep track of them on your guest list.
A: Reach out to people you’d like in your wedding party Finalize your guest list. Send out save-the-date cards 6 to 8 months in advance. Follow up with formal invitations 8 weeks before the wedding.

This isn't required if you are using the Xecuter X360USB tool, as it is already built in. If you are using the X360USBPro tool, you will need this adapter. Probe (TX CK3 PROBE 3, TX SPUTNIK360 UNLOCK PROBE, MAXIMUS 360 SCORPION TOOL V2). This is only required for the Lite-On drive. No other DVD drive requires this tool. Molex-to-outlet power connector (Molex to USB works as well) If you are flashing a Lite-On DVD drive, you will need to remove the protective panel on the DVD drive in order to access the circuitry. Flip the drive over and remove the four screws holding the panel in place. Remove the panel to expose the circuitry. You only need to do this for Lite-On drives. If you are using any other drive, you can skip this step. If you are using the Xecuter X360USB tool, connect the Molex cable to the Molex adapter on the USB tool, and then connect the other end to the Molex-to-outlet adapter. Connect the USB tool to the DVD drive using the standard power cable (unless you are flashing a Lite-On, in which case refer to the next step). If you are using the X360USBPro, connect the CK3 Lite to the DVD drive using the power cable, and then connect the CK3 Lite to the outlet using the Molex-to-outlet adapter. Connect the probe cable to both the USB connector and the drive. Plug the end of the cable with the push button to the power connector on the DVD drive. Plug the other end of the cable into the USB connector. Attach the probe piece to the small wire coming out of the probe cable. The probe should light up. This will allow data to be passed from your computer to the DVD drive. Plug the connector into an open USB port on your computer. Avoid using a USB hub, as it will not provide enough power. You can use an extension cable if you can't reach a port. More lights should appear on the USB connector when plugged into the computer.
