You might just be thinking about how many rotations those legs will have to make in order to get you around that 172km course, but there are other things to think about!

We've put together this handy checklist so you don't leave anyting out

• Bike Tag - you can't cycle without this! Contact sscally@enableireland.ie immediatly if you haven't got yours
• Bike and Helmet (obvs!)
• Puncture Repair Kit - the last thing you want is a flat tyre and no way of fixing it. Don't worry about being able to fix it - someone will always stop to give you a hand. 
• Water bottle and snacks - there are food and water points all over the Ring but be sure to bring some drinks and snacks yourself in case you get hungry in between 
• A phone / camera - noobdy's saying that you should be chatting to your mother the whole way around - it's a good idea to switch off and enjoy the experience. However, it's a good idea to have a phone on you in case of emergency and you simply MUST take some pictures of the beautiful Kerry landscape. You can share them with us on Facebook too 
• Padded Shorts and Rain Jacket
