The 25 RAC | A Typical Day
We wake up at 6 a.m.
We get ourselves ready.
We check our bikes for flats.
Please keep the restrooms clean.
Volunteers have to clean up if you don’t.
We might not get invited back if we leave a mess.
We take down our tents, pack up our stuff, and take it to the truck.
We fill up our water bottle at the water source (hose)
We fill up our Gatorade bottle at the luggage truck.
Chase and Youth Support meet with Sabine at 7:30 a.m. at the truck.
We have breakfast.
We leave camp at 8 a.m, unless you hear otherwise.
We typically have a snack stop, a lunch stop, and - on long days- another snack stop.
Sometimes we regroup, and sometimes we don’t.
Chase cars stop along the route every few miles; they carry water, Gatorade, basic first aid supplies, and a bike pump.
After we reach camp, we retrieve our luggage from the truck and set up your tent.
Your bike stays next to you.
If our bike has issues, we immediately alert Bob (and not at 7:55 am the next morning).
We
help other people set up their tents
help unload the Penske
or cheer on those riders who are coming in after us. It’s great fun.
Dinner is around 6 pm unless otherwise posted. We receive wristbands.
We go to the meeting at 8 pm.
We stay for Dennis’ “Ghost Stories by the Campfire.”
We go to bed because we are tired.
