Helpful insider tips:
- The most important thing on your bike is a properly fitting saddle. Spend some time in it to make sure it’s the one you want to be sitting on for four or more hours
- The speed of our riders averages from 10 to 18 miles per hour. Don’t feel like you need to go faster than you’re comfortable with, there are riders of all speeds on this event.
- Bike mechanics will be on the route and they come prepared with almost everything you could possibly need. If you forget a water bottle or one of you spokes break, these are the people you want to see.
- Rest Stops will be located throughout the route and will include water, snacks, gatorade and bike repairs if needed.
- As always, MS Society staff are available to answer any questions or concerns you might have at midamericachapter@nmss.org or 1-800-344-4867.
