Some of our cycling members here work this event and we have a big tent where we have a support team. This year we are supporting 3 riders so far including one young man, Ryan Corey from Calgary who is coming down again this year. We would be happy to extend our support to any of you who would like to take part in this event. We will have a bike mechanic on hand and lots of food and drink. If you are interested, pm me and we will make arrangements. For peace of mind, there is an excellent offical sag team provided.
I might take you up on this. We have a big group coming down, but it's gonna be hard to talk the ones doing the 12-hours to stick around all night and support me, after they've ridden all day. As it gets closer, I might take you up on the offer. I ended up not eating because I didn't want to take the time to prepare anything, and didn't have anything just ready to eat. I also didn't pre-mix bottles, so didn't want to waste time mixing more so ended up with just plain water instead of my Sustained/Gu2O mixture. Like I said, I made lots of mistakes. Couldn't even figure out how to recharge lights. So, yeah, help would be great!
For 3 days, I get to part of a thousand other journeys.
