Mountain Bike Racing Equipment Checkist

I can clearly recount my very first mountain bike race. When I arrived, and was just about to get dressed into my cycling clothes, I suddenly learned that I hadn’t packed my clothes! Just joking. Hence, the reason I remembered them is that I had prepared a checklist of every thing I would require.I do not want you to forget a thing, so I decided to put my list online.

You may print out a hard copy and have it handy by your mountain bike kit so you can check off everything asput it in your car. If you are preparing for your first race, or your sixty-first, its better to be safe than sorry.
