It is mandatory to have and ware a helmet and it is the rider's responsibility to ensure that the helmet is valid (check expiration on helmet inner tag, usually good for five years) and in good working condition. It is not a "no drop ride" but as always let's try to stick together and have a fun, safe ride.

Things to have:

Water to complete the ride or at least to reach the next water stop.

Tools to perform minor repairs.

Chain repair linkage.

Inner-tube and inflated device.

Cellular phone.

Food to replenish energy.
