Whilst cycling all you have to carry is the daily essential such as camera and snacks. A front handlebar or rear panniers ( or saddle bag) are provided locally with the bikes. On some trips a support vehicle travels behind the group, always out of sight. On others it may go on ahead with the luggage and then return to sweep the route several times to check if anyone requires assistance . On certain self-guided group trips or on sections with no vehicular access, a support vehicle may not be necessary or practical.
