FAQ’s
Q: What kind of supplies will SAG provide?
A: SAG will have ice, snacks (cookies, chips, crackers) & drinks (water, Gatorade, cokes, V8). They will also have a bike pump and supplies for fixing flats and minor mechanical issues.
Q: Do I have to ride the entire ride?
A: No! Not only can you coordinate with SAG to be dropped off/picked up, but you can also pick & choose which days you’d like to ride. Bonus: if you’re not riding one day, we’d always welcome more help with SAG!
Q: Can I share a room with someone?
A: Yes! Let us know if this is something you’d be interested in, and we would be happy to put you in contact with others who are interested in the same.
Q: Is there a need for help with SAG?
A: Always! If your significant other is coming but not riding, this is a great way to include them in the fun. Ways to help include prepping snacks, icing drinks, serving lunch on Day 1 and checking on riders along the route.
Q: If I want to ride all 3 days, what dates should I book a room?
A: Check-in Thursday 10/16 and check out Sunday 10/19. Ask about late checkout.
Q: For Friday’s potluck, can I buy supplies there?
A: Leakey has a few stores to buy groceries. There are no stores in the Frio Pecan Farm community where you can purchase food and beverages. FWBA alway service grilled chicken at the Pot Luck Dinner. It was so good at our recent August 2025 special event.
Meal plans for Leakey are in the works and will be announced soon.
