Getting Around & Moving Gear
Touring by Bicycle
We move your gear, you move yourself and your bike. It’s that easy. Gear is transported in trucks to and from each camp location for you. You are responsible to load it onto the truck each morning and pull it off each evening. We do provide complimentary luggage tags, which will be in your registration materials and available from our Information Hub throughout the ride.
Cyclists should carry their ID, cash/credit cards, sunscreen, lip balm, bug spray and rain gear (if the weather looks inclement).
On ride purchases may be brought back to camp for you, just drop off (be sure to label your items) to the nearest SAG stop volunteer crew or at the shopping vehicle in select locations along the route.
Luggage Transport on Multi-Day Tours
We do recommend tagging your bags and of course, the minimalist approach. An easy set up/ tear down lightweight tent, sleeping bag, bedroll, a good pillow, and a flashlight is all you'll need. You can skip the flashlight if you have a smartphone with a flashlight app, though we do recommend bringing back up portable charging packs so you don't run out of juice.
You don't need much more than that as your meals are provided and we are not camping in the wilderness, so no need to load up on camp dishes, cooking things, etc...as none of it is needed.
