Pisgah Productions presents the Pisgah Mountain Bike Adventure Race

***There will be a mandatory Gear-Check before the start of the race AND as your team crosses the finish line. THERE WILL BE A 2 HOUR PENALTY FOR EVERY MISSING ITEM AT THE FINISH LINE. There will also be random Gear-Checks on course. Don't mess around, every one of these items are here for your own safety. If you think leaving any of this behind will make you faster, this may not be your race.

Required Gear:

Helmet. (1 per racer)~~~Racers must wear helmets ANY TIME they are riding their bikes. Uphill, Downhill, Gravel Road or Pavement. Racers not wearing a helmet while riding will be DQ'd.
Water Filter or Iodine (1 per team) ~~~ For the sake of your stomach, and those that will be around you after the race, DO NOT DRINK DIRECTLY FROM RIVERS OR CREEKS.
Rain Jacket ~~~ (1 per racer) Even if it's 70 degrees and sunny, don't mess around. I don't expect anyone to spend the night in the woods... but if you do, you'll want a jacket. I promise.
Emergency blanket (1 per racer)~~~ See above
National Geographic, Pisgah National Forest, Pisgah Ranger District, Topographic map. (1 per team)~~~ Note: Every trail used in the Pisgah MTB Adventure is on that map.
Compass (1 per team)~~~ What good is a map without a compass?
Lighter (1 per team)~~~ see #3
Emergency Light Source (Flashlight, LED, etc.) (1 per racer)~~~ There is a good chance your team will be arriving at the start/finish after dark. Bring appropriate lighting to get off the trail.
Red 'Blinkie' rear light (1 per racer)~~~ Riders must burn a tail-light anytime they are on pavement or gravel roads, day or night.
First Aid Kit w/ Gauze, Tape, Ace Bandage, etc. (1 per team)~~~ Be prepared for anything!
