Rider Gear:

• REQUIRED. YOU CAN'T GO WITHOUT THESE ITEMS
  • helmet (seriously, you must have one of these, so please do not forget it)
  • Id/Drivers License (needed to get through Camp Pendleton. Without it you do not get on the base, and we will have to drive you to the other side of Pendleton. This will impact our ability to support the other riders)
  • cell phone with phone numbers of the SAG drivers and group leaders. These will be provided prior to starting Sunday morning
  • bike (please road bikes only...100 miles is a LONG way to take a mountain bike. I've seen people finish a century on one, but I sure wouldn't want to do it)
    • make sure bike is in good repair before the ride (shifts well, wheels are true (means the brakes don't rub when you spin the wheels), comfortable to ride for 20+ miles
  • bike shoes
  • padded shorts
  • water - two water bottles are recommended! It's a long way, and it can get hot out there, running out of hydration is never fun
