Packing Guide

At Rider Check-in on Friday afternoon and Saturday morning, you’ll receive an envelope containing a bag tag pre-printed with your name, rider number, and phone number. Attach this tag to your small, optional day bag going on the Rest Stop Truck.  

Day Bags

“Day bags” are small, lightweight bags for carrying essential items you’ll need along the route. These bags are loaded onto the Rest Stop Truck, which travels with us and is accessible at every rest stop throughout the day.

All riders will receive a drawstring bag at Rider Check-in — available Friday afternoon and Saturday morning. Keep your day bag light and limit it to essentials only.

Not sure if you’ll need a day bag? Consider this: on cooler mornings, most riders start the day in arm warmers, leg warmers, or a vest — and shed those layers as temperatures rise. Your day bag is the perfect place to stash them. At every rest stop, you’ll have the opportunity to add or remove layers and adjust your bag accordingly. No need to dig through your luggage for that.

Items that SHOULD go in your day bag:

  • cycling gear (gloves, light rain jacket, arm/leg warmers, socks)

  • prescription/allergy medication

  • sunglasses

Items that SHOULD NOT go in your day bag

  • sneakers,
  • water bottles (light water bottles should be in your water bottle holder on your bike)
  • soda cans
  • large sunscreen bottles (sunscreen will be provided at each rest stop)
  • bike pump (bike mechanics will be on hand at each stop to assist with any mechanical issues)
  • heavy bike tools
  • bike locks
