So . . . thought maybe we could share some preparation and planning for the 'big race for the socks.'
I am again running my hardtail with the kenda klimax lites and i got a little front fender just in case of wetness. My only other change for this year is that i am really considering ditching the camelback. I really like having a loose cool back, i guess. I am thinking that i'll carry two bottles (filled with cytomax at the start) and fill jersey pockets and tape stuff to my bike--though i' not sure how my stromboli will handle being taped to my toptube . . .
I will also definitely carry some electrolyte tablets after seeing everybody cramping last year.
Anybody else have any plans or changes or ideas???

Good Plan Humper!!
Dave, I think I may go the bottle root as well. I may carry two on the bike and one in a jersey pocket.
T
trevis--
so if you're doing the bottles, what's your plan for cytomax? are you going to use a seat pack for tubes and such?
You may want to think about utilizing the checkpoint(s) for dropping a ziplock with food,gels and fluids.
That way you don't have to carry all your stuff the whole length of the race.
They are allowing each person at least one bag to be placed at a checkpoint.Check the website for more details.
