Packing Suggestions


We've compiled a list of suggested items for multi-day cycling events. This is, by no means, a list of everything you need. Nor is it a fully comprehensive list. The idea of this list is to help guide you with your packing.

Keep in mind, you'll not need to pack a tent, mattress, chair, or daily shower towel, as those are provided for you by Padre's!
