When you reserve your adventure, you will receive a packing list in your confirmation package. We have developed this list to ensure your comfort, regardless of the weather, during the camp. We recommend the layering system, including a wicking or long underwear layer, an insulating layer, and a weather barrier for wind and rain.


Bringing or renting

  • Mountain bike: You may rent a full suspension Specialized FSRXC mountain bike from Western Spirit.


  • Helmet: Giro helmet included with bike rental.



Cycling clothing

  • Cycling shoes: If you're renting a bike and ride with clipless pedals at home, bring them with you and we'll put them on your rental bike. If you ride with toe clip, caged-style pedals, hard soled cycling shoes or sneakers will work fine.


  • Three to four pair of cycling shorts


  • Two cycling jerseys


  • Cycling socks


  • Lightweight windbreaker layer for chilly mornings.


  • Warmer riding jacket for cold weather riding


  • Tights: Wicking and warm for cold weather riding.


  • Cycling gloves


  • Rain jacket: No cheating. Bring a good waterproof (not water resistant) rain jacket. Gore-Tex or similar, it doesn't have to be expensive.


  • Rain pants: No cheating here either. Gore-Tex or similar.



Gear

  • If you have a bike with disc brakes we recommend bringing a second set of brake pads


  • Sunglasses: riding and casual


  • Day pack: Any small pack or duffel to house your day items in the support vehicle.


  • Hat or visor


  • Two large water bottles provided by Western Spirit.


  • Riding pack with hydration system



Personal

  • Sunscreen, lip balm, towel, insect repellent, personal items, cash for souvenirs.


  • Cash for tipping your guides. Your guides work as a team and share all of their gratuities. A tip of 5 to 15 percent of the price of your trip given to either one of your guides is a great way to say thanks for a job well done.



Optional

  • Camera, film, batteries


  • Binoculars


  • Books or maps


  • Alcohol
