Baggage Service

Group Health STP provides trucks to carry your gear down the route. Limit baggage to a light (20 lbs.) and small, distinctively colored bag; sleeping bag and tent. Do not pack breakables or any valuables. Cascade Bicycle Club is not responsible for any damaged, lost or stolen luggage. Since your gear may be out in the rain when it is unloaded, it is helpful to put your clothing inside a plastic bag before packing.

Before You Leave Home

• Detach the official Group health STP baggage tag from your number bib, fill out the blanks and securely attach to your baggage.
  
• Pin on your bib number.
  
• Attach your adhesive helmet number to the front of your helmet.
  
• Affix the cardboard bike number to the front of your bike.
  
• Note: The photographers on the route need your rider number on the front in order to match you with your pictures.
