The biggest issue the club has concerns with is sound. You need to be under 96 Dba for the ride.

Gear. Helmet, gloves, and boots minimum I'd say. A chest protector, elbow and knees guards or an armor suit optional. But I'm old and wear as much as protective gear as I can. A backpack to hold the aforementioned gas bottle, a hydration pack (You can buy just the hydration inserts at Wal-mart for $9!) and a small tool kit consisting of 8,10,12,14 mm wrench, 4,5,6 and 8(if needed) allen wrench, spark plug wrench, spark plug. Maybe soem JB weld and duct tape.
I got a flat last year and had to ride back to the fairgrounds to change tubes, a tube and 2 small irons would have prevented that. Really, whatever you think you need to make emergency trail side repairs.
little john said:we have been giving to the University of Wisconsin Comprehensive Cancer Center the last 3 years. we finally got what we set out to do which is to "adopt" a couple labs actually doing research on breast and colon cancers. both at currently located on the UW campus and we hope to have researchers at the event talking about what they do , how it will effect us , and how the money we donate helps them. I know Matt and his professor are coming for sure , He found and figured some stuff out about breast cancer and how to treat it that could be extremely beneficial to 50 % of the people that get breast cancer that nothing else seems to work for. Kelly is doing colon cancer stuff, from the papers she has published there seems an even greater correlation between small amounts of exercise and diet and not getting colon cancer, to over simplify, eating wheat bread and taking a walk after work could keep it at bay ( at least that's what I understand of it). so all the money from the bike raffle the dollar raffles that we do at dinner sat night all will go to the 2 labs to help buy new equipment, supplies whatever they need but not to someones income/pocket. so far we have collected and donated over $30,000.
