Gear:
- Bicycle – Cyclocross or mountain bike with at least 35mm tires recommended. Road bikes are not ideal, but if that is all you have, we recommend tough 28mm tires, but it's going to be squirrely in some sections.
- Pedals – Road pedals can be used, but keep in mind muddy, dirty conditions can make it impossible to clip back in, so mountain pedals and shoes are highly recommended.
- Helmet – Helmets must be worn at ALL times during the race and warm-up rides.
- Spare tubes and parts – Be self-sufficient. Bring a couple spare tubes, multi-tool, chain tool, spare chain links, hand pump and/or CO2, rain/wind shell, water and food to last 2-3 hours between aid stations. It’s a good practice to load spare tubes in your drop bag just in case.
- Clothing – Bring it to the race even if you don’t think you’ll need it. You can always take layers off, but if you don’t bring a rain shell and get caught in a storm, you may be shivering on the side of the road or wearing a garbage bag to stay warm.
