Check list

If you are a new rider, you may not know what to bring with you to the ride. Here is a check list of things to consider.

Clothing:

Prepare for the worst. Bring rain gear designed for bicycling (ask at your local bike shop).
If the weather is cool, you will want to dress warmly and strip off layers as you ride.
You will also want to have the following:

• Biking shorts
• Gloves
• Tights or leg warmers if the temperature is less than 60 degrees
• A jacket or vest for colder weather
• Helmet - a requirement for all riders
• Shoes - have a spare pair for after the ride
• A change of clothes for after the ride

Tools:

Your bicycle should be in good condition before you show up for the ride. If you are not sure, take it to a bike shop
and have them inspect and repair any problems. For problems encountered on the ride, Sag support will help.
In the event of a major break down, you may have to be sagged to the finish. It is always a good idea to ride with a spare tube
and an air supply so that you will not have to wait for help. Road conditions should be excellent so flatting should be minimal.
Wet weather will increase the likelihood of a puncture.

Food and Water:
Rest stops will supply power bars, fruit, and water. Supplements and other nourishment is up to you.
