FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

A tent would be a good idea since it’s a bicycle camping tour! Seriously though, here’s a suggested Packing List. Duffel bags or large sports bags work best for packing (no plastic bags, storage totes, or cardboard boxes). There is a limit of two (2) bags per person, and no bag may exceed 45lbs. Tip: create a water barrier for anything in your bags that needs to stay dry, either by using ziploc bags or garbage bags, as even dew soaked tents make for very wet piles of baggage in the trucks.

One of our volunteers designed and built some awesome standup boards with multiple pockets and outlets that will be setup at each overnight site.

“SAG” (most commonly written in all uppercase) may derive from a rider “sagging” off the back of the group, or it may be an acronym (or a backronym) for “Support And Gear” or “Support Aid Group.” In any case just know that our SAG drivers are out driving the routes to assist riders in need. Tap your hand on top of your head to signal them to stop, or give them a thumbs-up to tell them all is well.

We are using a RideWithGPS Experience this year for all our routes. Even if you don’t have a RideWithGPS account you can use it for turn-by-turn navigation on your phone and or download routes to your GPS. You will receive an email before the tour with a link for your route. If you have any questions please email routesandmaps@biketcba.org.

We now have a way for you to purchase merchandise without registering to ride DALMAC. To do so, you will need to go to the registration system by clicking “Register” from DALMAC.org. Once you get to the registration system, scroll down until you see “SWAG Only”. Click on the green Register bar in the SWAG Only box. You will be asked to log into Race Roster, which you can do if you already have a Race Roster account or you can create a new account. Once you are logged in, the system will take you to a registration page. Scroll down and enter your personal information. This will be used to ship your merchandise to you.

 

Next, select the merchandise you would like by size and quantity. Then scroll to the bottom of the page and click Continue. You will need to agree to the liability waiver as we are not able to remove this option. If you do not agree with the liability waiver, you will not be allowed to order any merchandise. The next page is the Purchase Protection Insurance. This is trip insurance, which does not apply to the purchase of merchandise only. We are not able to remove this option, so please click “Decline protection” and then “Skip”. On the next page, complete your order by confirming your order sizes/quantities and entering your credit card information.

No, all riders must be present at check-in to receive wrist-bands, their packet, and sign a liability waiver. Pictured ID required.

Sure, just find the Route Coordinator at an overnight site (look for canopy) and check-in there as they will have your registration packet.

Things come up, plans change. Contact us to arrange for cancellation. Also, please see the DALMAC Handbook for complete details.
