I skimmed through the forums and wondered if there is a complete list anywhere of what each rider should have with them on ride day. I've never done anything like this before and want to be prepared! Thanks.
Sleeping bag Extra blanket(in case it's cold)... Pillow (optional) Foamy or air mattress PJ's Change of clothes ...for after your shower Pants ...in case of rain Coat....in case of rain or for that middle of the night run to the outhouse Shoes ....for camp(flip flops work) Towel Toiletries Breath Right strip...for those that snore! lol Bug Spray ...for in camp
For Ride Bike shorts (2pr) Jerseys (2) Socks (2) Underthings (2) Shoes Sunglasses Sunscreen Helmet Bike gloves
Go to the Main Site and on the left under Registered Participants click on Travel, then What to Pack, it'll give you a PDF with a checklist of everything you'll need!
and where it says to pack everything in garbage bags....they mean in a garbage bag INSIDE your suitcase/travel bag. saw lots last year who'd packed everything in garbage bags and a mess at camp when unloading bags (I was on the camp crew last year)
a big bag with everything inside, and your sleeping bag strapped to the outside with a bungee (ahhha!thats what I need to find) worked really well.
