2010 CNC SUGGESTED GEAR LIST
Below is a list of items that cyclists and CNC Staff have put together as a suggestion for what to bring on a multi-day bike tour in North Carolina. You may use this as a packing checklist, but keep in mind, this list is just a recommendation. There may be items you may want to bring that are not on this list.
Note: Strapping or tying anything to your bag(s) is prohibited. CNC does not allow coolers, chairs, extra bikes, hard walled trunks, Tupperware bins, suitcases or gas stoves on the luggage trucks.
