Please read the “What to bring and what to leave at home” list carefully. Let us know if you have any questions.
The RAC | What to Bring and What to Leave at Home
Last week’s lists
○ The RAC | All Seven Days please notice updated information on Day 6
_________________________________________________________
Because you asked:
What happens when we need help on the RAC and we are all by alone on the road
Sabine and Bob will drive the route all day, back and forth. They will find you.
Volunteers or fellow riders will alert Sabine or Bob to come and help you.
The nearest chase car is a few miles in front of you or a few miles behind you.
What do we do with our bikes when we have to ‘go to the bathroom’ in the wilderness?
● Leave it by the side of the road.
● That way, the caboose will not pass you and we know where you are.
○ We have never had a bike stolen during the RAC.
