V12man Posted March 10, 2014 Share Essential - riding kit... don't think it is that practical to get kit washed overnight and expect it to be actually clean... just clean enough to pack away - there are not guarantees on having it back the next day, but they have never missed for me - just not always completely dry. Essential SheetSleeping bagRain suitSome tools/pump/shock pump/lube/spare bombs/sealant/spares1 set warm kit for overnightPost ride kit - at least 2 sets of shorts and shirtsRide kit - and I always pack 2 sets of wet weather gear, in case of 2 days of back to back wet weather - 3 days and life will be interesting...SunblockKindleBackup battery to charge stuff (10 000mah) and charging cables for everything (including 2 - 3 pin adapter)Saline eye drops in small single use containersBum creamHat for post rideRide nutrition - pre-packed in bags Donovan Le Cok 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tankman Posted March 11, 2014 Share (I wore out a new rear Racing Ralph in 2013 on the Epic) Yours lasted long! I replaced my rear Racing Ralph after stage 4, forked, which I put on brand new the day before the prologue! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

camelman Posted March 11, 2014 Share Me and the Mrs are going at 7:41. Hope not to get held up on the techy stuff and downhills as that is the only place we can go fast. Might hold up the racing snakes on the uphills though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flat29 Posted March 11, 2014 Share I am not a rider but would like to see the starting times for all the teams. Where can I look Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carbon29er Posted March 11, 2014 Share AND... the Epic organisers have made the bag MUCH smaller than last year - now its oficcially 80l and if you multiply out the bag dimensions - 65l - so about half of last years and even less than 2012... Going to be a mission to fit everything in that dinky toy bag with a sleeping bag and pillow. Personally I think its an Epic fail on the part of the organisers to make it that size - really complicates what you take - and yes - I told them so in an email - just they have not replied yet.....That's why the smart money chats to guys like me who travel with a truck and trailer, the 65l bag becomes an overnight bag for your cosmetics. The stuff you may or may not need but don't want to risk not having travels with me and is stored for when you want it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
