Advice for Sectional Riders

What every sectional rider needs to know -Who are the people who snore and what does their tent looks like -Know the people who get up at 5am or earlier. -Bring a big tent for comfort’s sake and privacy…It’s your home. -The three person tent is key. Purge clothing to make it fit in your red box. -Know who the late night talkers are. -Know the people who like to pee directly behind of their tent. -Don’t ever trade Rum and Raisin PVM bars unless you are on the giving end. -Don’t worry about diarrhea…we all get it. -Plan on showering once a week. Embrace the dirt. Bring many wet wipes. -If your section includes off-road, bring a bike with front suspension. -Be prepared for nudity and saddle sore exams. -Don’t be scared about the barbarity of our conversations. Poop is the main topic of discussion -Anything you bring can be potentially broken, soaked or stolen. This tends to happen to digital cameras the most. -Approximately 110km for the day can mean 120km…mentally prepare yourself. -At dinner, eat firsts while you are standing in line for seconds. -Don’t use the dishwashing tubs to wash your clothes.
