MS Bike Tour Rider Check-in @ REI

Today I went to REI to do rider check-in which included signing the waiver form and pick up my rider number and goodies bag.

Also attend a safety class. and from the safety class, I've learned from Phil that a person can usually burn 700 calories in a hour of cycling but can only absorbed 200 calories per hour. It is important to monitor calories input and refuel every hours.

I also picked up a new a multi-purpose bike tool which contains 17 pieces of various bike tools.
Also a new drinking bottle to put energy drink and I will use my current bottle to store water.

I also receive a biking sock in the mail for meeting the minimal donation requirement by 09/30.
