Page 5 of 17 First of all, you'll need a bicycle. ALC doesn't care much about your ride, as long as it's safe. You certainly want to go for something that carries you through the day, though - which means light weight rules! Road cycles are the norm, and the few mountain bikers and single-speeders have a hard time keeping up.
Once you settle on the bike, get the necessary equipment:
You will be able to buy some of the equipment either on the ride or in San Francisco, but keep the list handy. ALC will NOT let you ride if you don't have all the items on the list (and if you are missing one or more of them, you are a risk to yourself and others, anyway). You will need a lot of layers, since the rides start in the early morning. It gets really chilly, especially on the coast, and you'll be more than happy about leggings and arm warmers. I would recommend a bike computer, preferably with GPS, since the ride sheets give directions in miles from the start (not particularly useful if a turn is just a few feet from the last, but such is life).
