Special Instruction:
Equipment Needed - Remember riding gear for inclement weather just in case, bike tools and spare tubes, and food/water for yourself. Please see the "Expectations" section of the SIR web site from whence the following has been excerpted: For the 400 km, the following equipment is REQUIRED:
Headlights (white and clearly visible from 150 yards to oncoming traffic), tail lights, and red rear reflectors are required. Note that many taillights are also legal reflectors. These may be checked and riders may be disqualified if they do not function. Functional lights must be mounted on bike at all times. Lights must be operating at night on each bike in a group. Blinking taillights are permitted, but note that these may bother some other riders.
Reflective vests and leg bands are required. This is for your safety and the safety of others in the group.
Multiple redundant headlights, taillights, extra bulbs, and extra batteries are STRONGLY recommended, and may be required by the brevet leader. Hand held flashlights are recommended for repairs made in the dark.
As a courtesy to other riders, fenders (with 1/4 coverage front wheel and 1/2 coverage rear wheel) are STRONGLY recommended. Additional rear splashguards (or "courtesy flaps") are recommended for group riding. Note: Fenders are never required, only recommended.
