What to Bring
- Lunch and water.
- Fuel for 200km
- There are no facilities; washrooms are free in the bush
- Tools – riders should be able to repair a flat. We’ll have some limited tools but you need to be self-sufficient to some degree
- SPOT Locator – If you have one, bring it.
- Riding gear – same as for the Enduro course.
- Watch out for the cross ditches – don’t be caught sitting down!
Basic Group riding etiquette
- For safety and to keep the group together, we’ll stop at intersections (or waypoints) to re-group before continuing.
- Check behind you from time to time to confirm the rider following you is still there. Slow down or stop and wait until you see them before continuing.
