Anyone else going out to Idyllwild (Hurkey Creek) this weekend for the 24 hour race? I'll be there with some other geoladders guys....Team Bag Balm is the name. This is my first 24 hour event. Any advice is appreciated....namely, what to eat and what to bring in terms of spare parts (other than the obvious, tubes, etc.).
hey murmur i've been the mechanic for two sucsessful teams in the past.i've said it in another post,try and get a mech. so's he can cook and clean.all the extra riding gear you can get your hands on,because putting on wet clothes sucks! if you can get a 5gal. propane heater that helps dry the stuff and warm your bones.FOOD something with chicken,rice/potatoes, enegy gels,you need solid food,somehting easily digestable while racing,tent/sleeping/changing area,chain lube,TOOLS,repair stand,chain cleaner,rags,hand cleaner.oh yah SLIME TUBES for spares,i've seen super goatheads out there,i think space aliens droped them.more food uh, eggs/potatoes for breakfast,pancacks,all your camping gear,stove,pillows,wife/girlfreind (leave the nagging behind) did i forget anything? :?: maybe some ointment for chafeing?sunscreen,salt/peper for said food.pasta salad fri. nite w/tuna aahaahaaaaaaaaahhhhh. homer wake up!
