Baraga Ave, Marquette, Mi THIS WAS SHARED IN AN EMAIL 8.26.2024 Mechanical Support: Who can help you? We’re gonna update the language on this to make it easier to control. You can get help from a participant, or someone offering neutral support. It’s well within the ethos of “community” and current neutral support guidelines. If you can’t fix something, but someone else can, they can help you. If they help you, they need to be willing to help someone else, if help is needed. It is pretty straightforward. How many bikes can you use? You can use one bike, one set of wheels, one seat post, etc. You get one bike, and one set of components. If your wheel breaks fix it, or have someone else fix it, but it has to be your wheel. Same goes for the rest of the parts. If your derailleur breaks, fix it, or finish on a single-speed. Clear? Good. Camping & Parking at Forestville. We rent the entire property. Camping can only be done in the campground. No sleeping in the parking lot. No overnight parking
