A couple notes about race day
We will have bike mechanics on duty race morning who will be able to perform minor bike maintenance at no charge. They will have bike pumps but it’s better if you bring your own. If you do please share it with those around you. The bike mechanic tent is located next to the transition area.
A water station will be located in the transition area with water, hydration fuel and sports gel. We should have enough water to fill your water bottle but you may want to fill it before you arrive.
