Page 16 of 17 One of the most important services is geared towards ensuring that the riders can, actually, ride. Medical staff is plentiful, professional, competent, and friendly. If feels like being in a private hospital, at times, with so many tending to pampering your health, I found myself more than once thinking that a fall with injury might be better than riding the last 20 of 100 miles (just kidding!).
Same is true for the mechanical staff, which seems to be provided by sponsors of the ride. Those guys, in addition, don't charge an arm and a leg for replacement parts (tires and inner tubes, for instance, are cheaper than at the local store), and they know their bikes. Every rider has, in addition to all the medical and mechanical treatments required, a free chiropractic session and a (somewhat laughable) 15 minute massage session. I didn't get either one of mine, and seeing the line at camp, I understand the 15 minute limit.
