Portable Power Banks: Every rider should have a portable power bank to charge their cell phone, GPS, lights, etc.  The power banks will charge in the SAG van while we ride, and riders can use the power bank to recharge devices overnight while in camp.  Please write your name on their power bank to avoid mix-ups.  We recommend one that has 20,000 mAh (or more) so you can charge your devices a few times.  Here is an example: http://a.co/agWtLwB
