Tour Team

The LS+G tour will be supported by a variety of dedicated individuals, including:

• Bike Mechanics: An onsite bike mechanic will be available throughout the tour to support your mechanical needs.

• Event logistics: This team of keener logistics experts will provide support each day along the route and at base camp providing shelter, water, showers, sleeping arrangements, re-supply, mail, transport, and internet access.

• Nutrition: Your daily calorie intake matters, but not as much as how good it all tastes! Our on-site food manager will make sure you eat well and enjoy a hearty nutritious meal.

• Safety: Your health and safety are priorities of the LS+G tour team. A tour medic watches over participants. Everyone on the team is trained in first aid and sanitation. During the day our SAG stop teams provide regular rest stops with food, water, and electrolytes, while our roving SAG teams patrol the route between stops.
