Totally up to you, the tours are designed and operated during optimum climate conditions for the location. Many people enjoy wearing cycling gloves to reduce vibration and find them comforting. The only time cold weather gloves might be needed is early mornings early and or late season days. Before each tour starts, I will have checked the upcoming weather and will provide guidance to the group on what to expect approximately 3 days before the tour start date.

Everyone is different, that said, common things I always have along: Sunblock, chapstick, and personal care wipes.

Always a maybe; however, in general in the months that the tours are operating, rain probability is low. A Climate Profile for each tour will be noted on Tour page which will give you some insight into temperature range, rain probability, etc. We work to run each tour in the optimum climate scenarios. Nature sometimes has other plans...

This gear list has been created to help you pick the best equipment for your tour. The weather and other conditions at the time of your tour will dictate what clothing and equipment you prefer. It may be a necessary for you to bring certain items included on the list, even if it is uncertain whether they will be utilized during your tour. A few days before your tour starts, I will send each participant the upcoming week’s forecast to help choose the best gear for your tour and the predicted conditions. That said, having rain gear along even if is never used or a warmer pair of gloves, jacket, cycling pants, etc. should we encounter a cool morning start is never a bad idea to have along. Those items can easily be stored in your assigned cubby, and you will have access to change out gear during the day as needed at the support stops.

Noun[edit] sag wagon (plural sag wagons) A truck, van or other support vehicle used during cycling events, designed to hold food and other equipment for participants, and to pick up and carry any cyclists (and their bicycles) who can no longer ride.

At a minimum you need to have at least one replacement tube for your tire size, tire tools, hand pump. If you are running tubeless, you still must have a tube along in case the sealant fails to seal the puncture. My kit always has a hand pump, tire tools, multi tool, zip ties, Co2 cartridges, two new tubes, tube patches, chain breaker, 2 oz of sealant for tubeless tires, some duct tape, and some tenacious tape. We, of course, will have many repair items in the sag wagon; however, we may not have your tube size.

If you have them, yes bring them. If you do not you do not own these items or they are not with you as you are traveling from out of state of out of country, then when you answer the pre-tour questionnaire let us know and we will make sure to provide you with the camping gear essentials you need for the tour you have selected. We are equipped to bring the following: All Cooking Gear All Meals Camp Chairs Tent* Sleeping Pad* Charging Station for electronic devices (Phone, tablets, bike computers, etc.) All transportation while on Tour All camping fees / Park Entrance Fees Lodging when part of the tour

Yes and no. Yes, each set tour can be adjusted to an individual rider simply by them choosing to skip a big hill climb, load up with the support vehicle and rejoin the riding at the next support stop, likely the top of the big climb. A rider can also consider utilizing an e-bike to help them feel more comfortable with the distance or elevation of any day's riding. No, only in the since the preset tours will be run complete so riders who want to ride every mile and climb every hill can do so. Second Yes, if you do not see the tour for you and your group already in the list of tour offerings, please contact me directly and I will create and price a custom tour that is suited specifically to your requirements regarding distance, pavement type, elevation gain, lodging or camping based, etc.
