    Don’t forget the Maker’s Mark. Key for any long haul.

    You guys might like these LED finger lights for detailed night work (dare I say, “repairs”?). And the chalk is for….?

    • We won’t be doing any rides at night, and we’ll be up with the sun. So hopefully no night repairs will be necessary. The chalk was a gift from Dustin’s friend Thomas. It’s an homage to the Tour de France. Fans write messages to the cyclists on the road. We can use the chalk to write messages to other cyclists, like “Almost there!” or “Bear ahead!” Haha, no, we won’t mess with our fellow cyclists.

  3. I see you have already started on the Maker’s Mark. :)
