A HELMET IS MANDATORY. Also required, a working & properly maintained bicycle that allows you to travel the distance/pace of this ride. As "situational awareness" is critical to safe bicycling, earbuds, earphones & speakers are not allowed on this ride.
Other things to bring: (1) photo ID, emergency contact info & insurance card, (2) spare tube & pump/CO2 (3) water bottle. Goes without saying but please dress for weather (sunglasses, sunscreen, bug spray, rain poncho). While this is a daylight ride, headlight and taillight are recommended to make you more visible.
Please feel free to contact us with any questions.
NOTE: All riders participate and ride at their own risk. Meetup, Let's Ride and/or its organizers are not responsible for your safety or well-being.
