You should have the tools and gear with you to be able to handle minor repairs, such as a flat tire and make minor bike adjustments yourself. Riders should have two water bottle cages on their bike or use a camelback. We also highly recommend carrying a jacket and for safety have a rearward facing red blinky light and wear high-viz clothing.
Special Logistic Notes: The AMC150 segments are set up as a point-to-point, one-way relay. Since this segment is less than 20-25 miles, we are planning on doing it as an “out and back”. If you prefer to do it one-way, please contact the leader. We can’t guarantee things, but we may be able to facilitate car spots with other participants for one-way riders.
Since this ride is part of a 1500-mile relay, there isn’t a rain date; the ride will either run or cancel due to weather. The leader will run the ride unless there is sustained, heavy rain. Riders should make their own decision to cancel if conditions are outside or their comfort zone.
