Do You Have a Bicycle Mechanic on the Ride? |

No, not necessarily.
Riders should be able to change their own inner tubes and fix other common problems though other riders are often there and willing to help.
We will have many 26 inch mountain bike tire inner tubes, pumps, tools, chains, lube, and more in the support vehicle but we do not have a full time mechanic at this point.
If there is any repair that cannot be fixed quickly where it happens, one of the support vehicles can run you to the nearest town where there is a mechanic who can do the repair.
We have not had any big problems that couldn’t be handled at any one of the towns we stop in overnight. If we have a spare bike (quite possible) we will gladly loan that until we can find the right part or repair shop.
