What I'm Taking on My First 200 Mile Race!

#stampede200 #ultraendurance #cyclinggear #cyclingrace #texashellweek
I'm racing in the Stampede 200 race in Fredericksburg, TX on April 1st - here's a rundown of the bike, kit, gear, tools, and nutrition I'm taking along! There is no support on the course, but there are two aid stations and one resupply, so I have to be prepared for everything! This is my first ultra endurance race, so I hope I'll have everything I need!
The Stampede 200 is a 200 mile bike race with a whopping 10,000 feet of climbing! It's my first ever ultra endurance race, the farthest I've ever attempted to cycle, and the most elevation I've ever tackled. It's part of Texas Hell Week, a week-long event in the hill country of central Texas. Learn more at: www.raamchallenge.com/about
