NESBA Riders’ Manual
WHAT TO BRING TO THE TRACK
o Registration information (membership card, photo ID, and e-mail
confirmation, which is e-mailed five days prior to the event)
o Tools may be necessary. Don’t rely on others to have them. If you plan
on working on your bike to get it dialed in, bring whatever other
equipment you need, including a service manual.
o Food for lunch and lots of beverages (non-alcoholic). Water, Gatorade,
etc. are good for keeping you hydrated on hot days. You can dehydrate
very quickly if you don’t drink plenty of fluids throughout the day. Stay
away from caffeine.
