Student Ministry of Wawasee Community Bible Church

One question keeps coming up from students as they pack, what do I need to bring? This list is for you! Remember that your luggage is due at Wawasee Bible between 2:00 and 4:00 PM on Saturday June 9th!

Biking Clothes/Gear

First on your list should be your biking clothes/gear for five days of cycling. Here’s a recommended list of what to pack. Pack your first day of biking gear separately from your other luggage. You’ll need it!

• Cycling Shorts (more than one pair would be best so you can wash them out and let them dry).
• Modesty shorts for when you get off of your bike.
• 5 extra pair of underwear for biking if you wear it under your biking shorts.
• 5 shirts for biking each day.
• 5 pair of socks for biking.
• A long sleeve shirt/sweatshirt and/or a light coat/jacket to wear biking if we encounter cold and/or rain.
• Cycling tights if you have them in the event of a cold day. (This is pretty unlikely, though.)
• Cycling gloves (optional, but very recommended).
• Cycling helmet.
• Mirror (mounted on helmet or handlebars; this is absolutely required).
• Cycling shoes (or shoes with a hard sole if you do not have clipless pedals).
• Cell phone if you have one. Don’t forget the charger!!! You will not be able to text during the trip, but you can have your cell phone while on your bike for emergency purposes.
• Sunscreen, high SPF. This is absolutely required. No sun poisoning this year!

Be sure that your bike is up to spec with the following…

• Water bottle(s)
• A travel bike bag of some kind and plastic map holder on handle bars
• A rearview mirror of some kind (bike or helmet)
• Front and rear brakes in top shape
• Front and back tires brand new or like new
• One spare tube (to be carried in your bike bag; this is absolutely required).
• Front and back deraillers cleaned, oiled, and adjusted
• Chain is new or in top shape, absolutely no rust

Casual Clothes

You will also need casual clothes for the evenings, Friday, and Saturday.

• 7 sets of clothes for the evenings, Sun-Thurs, and Friday at Cedar Point.
• Pack one pair of sweats or jeans for possible cold evenings or cold AC in churches
• Pack one long sleeve shirt or sweatshirt for possible cold evenings or cold AC in churches
• Don’t forget enough socks, underwear, extra shoes, hats, etc. that you might need/want

Toiletries/Sleeping Stuff

Don’t forget that for your good and popularity with everyone else you need to shower and clean yourself each day!

• Shampoo (enough for 7 days)
• Deodorant (enough for 7 days)
• Toothpaste and toothbrush (enough for 7 days)
• Body wash/soap for showering ((enough for 7 days)
• Other incidentals, personal medications, etc. (enough for 7 days)
• Glasses and cleaner and/or contacts and solution for those who wear them (enough for 7 days)
• Gals, remember any feminine supplies you may need

And remember sleeping stuff or it’ll be a rough week.

• Sleeping bag
• Pillow
• Blow-up mattress (single only, not doubles — if you need to borrow one, let us know so we can find one for you.)
• Ear plugs (the old guys snore)

And…

Don’t forget to bring your Bible, some pens, and a journal (some writing will be required). You may also want to bring some extra spending money for the week and for your day at Cedar Point.

Do Not Bring…

• iPods or mp3 players. We will take them from you for the week if you have them.
• Portable gaming devices.
• Other electronics, computers, etc.
• Fireworks, drugs, alcohol, etc.
• If you wonder whether or not you should bring it, the answer is probably no. (But if you’re not sure, ask a leader.)

If you have any questions give, a leader a call.
