Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

Sometimes I still like to put the finishing tape on for 3 or 4 days just so I don't have to dig for the good electrical tape right away

Do it from the top down, front to back over the top. Use the little pieces on the clamps. Figure 8 only, without the horizontal wrap around the hoods.
