HELPFUL HINTS

* Although there is plenty of food during the day, you may want to pack any snacks you want in the evening after dinner and during the ride.  Lollies in the pocket are always good!

* It is a long 3 days on the bike and your body will be sore, antiflamme, nurofen, panadol and magnesium may be needed to keep you going.

* Bring cash with you (check in with your group about this.)  You may just want to head to the pub for a drink in the evenings.

* Keep your electrolytes up during the day, there will be some available in the vehicles but you may want to bring your own too.

* There will be an auction at the dinner on the Saturday night as part of a final fundraising event.

MAKE SURE TO PUMP TYRES EVERY MORNING AND FILL DRINK BOTTLES READY TO GO BEFORE YOUR BRIEFING. ATTEND ALL BRIEFINGS, BOTH FULL GROUP BRIEFING AND YOUR OWN TEAM BRIEFINGS.
