Go prepared to be beaten. On your first few laps and perhaps most of the laps you'll ride, chances are you'll fall off at some point and your bike will be damaged. You will be making big jumps, riding on rocks, hitting you with branches and breaking things while you spend the best on your bike. You could scratch and bruise the first few times you go out to ride, so get ready for these light abrasions. We also recommend you bring water and a phone when you leave. Make sure you or someone in the group has the following:
• Much water
• Bandages and ampoule kits
• Patching kit and multi tools
• Small Inflator
• Stockings extra
• Rain gear or warm clothing
