Babysitting; You need to be able to take care of yourself out there! This race is BRUTAL on the mountain or gravel course and should not be entered into lightly, not only will the distance and elevation eat the unprepared alive but the terrain is also difficult even for the seasoned rider.
Personal gear we strongly recommend bringing; Bear spray & helmets are mandatory. We also recommend an inReach, Zoleo or equivalent satellite communications, tools, tubes, water storage, water purifying tablets, lite jacket, and a navigation device (With ample battery).
Race Awards; At this time we do not host race awards. This is due to the large gaps between race finishers. As we grow this may change, but for now, this is not a ceremony we hold.
Rest stops are stocked with lots of water and emergency nutrition. We find most riders prefer to choose their own nutrition, so pack your drop bag for your desired rest nutrition.
