  • Long race pants that fit snugly at the ankle
  • Long sleeve race jersey that is fitted at the wrist and tucked into pants
  • Gloves that provide complete hand and finger protection
  • A full face helmet that covers the ears (except for Mini Wheelers). We have spares available for hire at the club
