*Recommended but not necessary

Included is a list of most of the things you will need for the trip. You do not need the latest equipment to make it from Astoria to Long Branch, just something that works. Some stores like Target and Kohls might have some good deals on clothing if you should need any. For each rider, we will carry ONE bag in our support van.

Community Gear

We are currently planning on providing community gear such as tents, camp stoves and cooking utensils, bike tools, spare parts, etc.  If you have any of this gear and are willing to lend it to the tour, we would be extremely grateful and we will be able to limit costs of the trip. Please let us know if you are able to provide any of this gear.
