We will have bike mechanics on duty race morning who will be able to perform minor bike maintenance at no charge. They will have bike pumps but its better if you bring your own. If you do please share it with those around you. The bike mechanic tent is located next to The Nissan Transition area.

A water station will be located next to The Nissan Transition area with water, hydration fuel and sports gel. We should have enough water to fill your water bottle but to be safe, you may want to fill it before you arrive.

After racking your bike you can proceed directly to the chip distribution and body marking area. Please pick up your race chip and make sure you body is marked. There is NO chip distribution prior to race morning.
