  • Your bike is in good working order

  • Extra layers/rain gear - be prepared, anything is possible in the mountains and we ride rain or shine!

  • Hydration (extra water bottle) and snacks - Aid stations will provide water and food, but you never want to be without water and only you know what your best on the road snack is especially if you have food allergies
