1. Reliable digital camera and any cables needed to connect it to a computer (you are responsible for producing photos of the checkpoints as you cross the finish line.)
2. (1)Bike Lock. Let’s just say there may be a time during the race that you may wish (need) to leave your trusty steed behind.
3. (1)First Aid kit. w/ Ace bandage, gauze, tape, etc., enough stuff to stop yourself from bleeding to death out there.
4. (2)Bike Lights front and (2)rear
5. (2)Back-up light source
