What do I bring on a ride?Michigan weather has a mind of its own. Tight neck gator dusk masks are always a great thing to have on deck. LAYERS, LAYERS, LAYERS! The day might start off cold, but could always end up warm or vise versa. Always recommend to bring or wear a rain coat. Knee-high boots, an extra pair of socks and gloves. Moisture/wind barrier is key. Pack a lunch and ask us where we suggest to have a beautiful picnic with an even better view! WE suggest a good tire repair kit to have on you during the ride.
