Team Hospitality Tent |
|
When you finish the first day of a ride, come to our
team’s hospitality tent. We’ll set it up at the finish,
near where you pick up your SAGged luggage. It’s a place
for the team to congregate, enjoy a cold drink, and talk
about the day’s ride. The tent will be easy to spot –
look for the Dow Automotive banner, and all your freshly
showered team members in their team T-shirts. |

|
Rider Packets |
|
Every team member gets a rider packet with all the
information you need to get ready for the ride, and have
fun: fundraising, team business cards, team events,
sponsor "brag" flags for the office, jersey sizing
options and distribution, buddies for new riders, and
lots more. |

Buddies for New Riders |
|
We know cycling 150 miles can be a bit intimidating
especially for folks who have not done much endurance
oriented exercise or events. Buddies are experienced
MS150 riders who provide first time rides with support
and encouragement to help make the ride and overall
experience as enjoyable as possible, …and hence keen to
do it again in future years. If you want a buddy, please
contact the TriCityMS150 Buddy Contact. |

Buddies offer advice and encouragement regarding:
- Training: TCC training rides, other suggested routes, how much/how often, developing and implementing a realistic training plan
- Bike set up / optimization
- Equipment
- Pre and post ride practices e.g. stretching
- Meet in person with rider at least once e.g. Take a ride together.
- Advice for the ride itself:
- What to take
- What to expect
- Pacing, use of rest stops, finding the right group to ride with
- Offer to meet with rider at start of the first day
- Safety and Etiquette:
