Notes:

You MUST be able to perform your own bike maintenance should you have any mechanical issues.

It's always a good idea to do some pre-bike maintenance before you begin the ride to make sure everything is functioning properly.  Recommended to do this prior to the event, so we aren't waiting on you prior to a group ride.
