Tips for 1st organized ride
I signed up for the last leg (25 miles) of the MS City to Shore ride in NJ this coming Saturday. The ride has 7000 people (most NOT leaving from my starting point) and ends in Ocean City, NJ, where it seems like there might be some things to do and socializing for a few hours.
I have never been on a large organized ride before. I did go to their "how to ride with a large group" class this past Saturday. They reviewed what to expect during this ride and how it's organized, and gave us some tricks to help avoid collisions, avoid water bottles in road, etc.
Do you bring change of clothes? TP? I know to bring water bottle, helmet, pace myself, get a good night's sleep... Do you have any other suggestions?
Thank you in advance.
