The SAG will be equipped with the usual; a first aid kit, water, and snacks. Feel free to bring your own snacks and beverages that need to be chilled to be put in the cooler (until full). You may put additional clothing in the SAG for later use or you can ditch layers as you progress through the ride if needed as well. NO LARGE BAGS/COOLERS WILL BE ALLOWED. There is only so much space available so please only bring what you think you will need. We need extra space available if someone needs to be taken off the course.

3) Make sure you bring all bike gear needed...HELMETS, bike pump, saddle bags with tools and such to fix a flat, water bottles filled with electrolyte replacement, and nutritional needs. Layer up, remember, more is better, you will be able to ditch anything after the first loop if you need to.
