All riders must wear a cycling helmet at all times while riding.
No participants will be allowed to start without one!

Do Bring

Besides a helmet, you don't need to bring too much:

• It will probably be sunny, so be sure to bring sun screen
• Cycling gloves. Your hands will thank you, and if you have any kind of fall, they protect your palms.
• A water bottle. You will be able to fill up with water or sport drinks at all the rest stops, or from the SAG vehicles. If its hot, you might consider bringing two bottles - when you're sweating, you can't stay too hydrated!
• Spare tube, CO₂ or pump, and tire levers. While we will try to keep the support cars nearby, you can get a head start on any repairs if you are prepared.
• Shower stuff, a bathing suit, and clothes to change into.
• Friends and Family to have fun at the party.

Don't Bring

• No iPods or other devices that interfere with your ability to hear surrounding traffic.
• Any other accessories that reduce the safety of yourself or other riders.
