Bike Essentials & Accessories

Water – Hydration is key and water stations can sometimes be limited out on the trails. Ensure you have a water bottle or hydration pack.
Sunscreen – At high altitudes, the sun is closer than you think. Make sure to lather up before starting your day and carry extra to use throughout your ride.
Proper Shoes – No matter what bike type you’re riding, closed-toe shoes are essential for safety and comfort.
Apparel – Make sure you’re wearing the right clothing for your bike ride. From lightweight jerseys to thermal jackets, lined bike shorts, and even water-resistant options, the right apparel will keep you comfortable throughout the entirety of your ride.
Sunglasses – A great addition to protect your eyes during those sunny bike days!
