Here are a few helpful hints:
1) It's important that we start on time (7am), there's only so much light in a day
2) Try to keep breaks to a minimum, there's only so much light in a day
3) Be sure to bring an extra jersey, shorts, gloves, socks, small cooler, tech-nu, gels, powerbars, beef jerky, pint of everclear, what ever you need to make it comfortably to Stanky. Grab bags will be in my Element at Shelby Farms
4) If you are running tubeless, be sure there is actually some Stan's in your tires before they go flat, also bring a couple of tubes, mini pump, chaintool, seatpost bolt, spare pedals etc.
5) Nourishment: I am assuming this is not your first rodeo, so bring plenty of gels, some type of sports drink, a full camelback and something solid to eat at some point, because it's a long ways (60+ miles) to Shelby Farms on an empty stomach
6) Have fun, cause that's what it's about
