Plain and simple, your all-inclusive entry gives your team everything you need to get from the start line to the finish line on your bike. You don't need a support crew. You don't need to book your own accommodations if you tent it and you don't have to worry about ferry transfers. You don't need to prepare your breakfast and dinner. It's all taken care of for you. We will also provide an official DAKINE duffle bag that we will transport and have waiting for you at the end of each Stage.
