What to bring on Ride Day, Sunday May 25!

Mandatory -

• Helmet – absolutely mandatory; you may not ride without a helmet.
• Your Giro T.O. route map
• Your Giro T.O. T-shirt – this is your ‘ticket’ to food at the rest stops.

Recommended –

• bike gloves – Protect your hands!
• your own water bottle/hydration pack – Hydrate yourself continually as you ride. You need to drink BEFORE you get thirsty – or else it may be too late to prevent yourself from exhaustion. There will be plenty of water refills at the start line and all the rest stops.
• cell phone – In case of accident or getting lost. In case of mishap, phone First Response Ontario, Robert Kennedy at 1-866-FRO EMS1. In case of serious accident, call 911.
• padded biking shorts – Your ‘sensitive parts’ will thank you!

Also, consider -

• sunglasses
• depending on weather forecast, sunscreen or rain slicker
• spare bike tube and patch kit (including tire levers), for flats
• small bike pump, fastened to your frame
• cash and/or TTC tokens
• camera – Snap photos of the entire city along the way!
• your own snacks - In case of any diet restrictions or allergies
