RIDER LEVEL: ENTHUSIAST/NEW

THE WHY/WHAT:

We chose to add this package as an option because there are a lot of people who want to experience the marvelous adventure, but don't want to commit to the cycling life, but want to ride the AIDS Life/Cycle. Check out more information about each of the items that we provide in this option below.
