The ForgedRider Checklist

Days Before the Ride

• Inspect tires, check pressure and tread.
• Check fluids, brakes, chain or belt, lights, and luggage mounts.
• Pack a tool roll, tire repair kit, small pump, and first-aid kit.
• Confirm gear is in good condition: helmet, jacket, pants, gloves, boots.
• Pack chargers, USB cable, and a power bank for your phone.
• Get a full night of sleep. Do not start an endurance ride sleep-deprived.
• Share your route and estimated arrival time with someone you trust.

Morning of the Ride

• Eat a real meal, drink water, avoid heavy caffeine spikes.
• Check weather forecasts along your full route, not just the start.
• Confirm your phone is fully charged.
• Open ForgedRider, set your challenge distance, choose your break reminder interval.
• Confirm location and notification permissions are enabled.

At Your First Fuel Stop (your ForgedRider start)

• Fill the tank.
• Take a clear photo with both your odometer and your fuel receipt in the same frame.
• Confirm ForgedRider has started recording.
• Plug your phone into power for the ride.

During the Ride

• Pace yourself. Match the average speed shown on the ride screen, do not race it.
• Stop at your set break interval, even if you feel fine.
• At each stop: stretch, drink, bathroom, quick bike check.
• If you ride through a long GPS dead zone, grab a mid-ride odometer + fuel receipt photo as backup.
• Watch for fatigue signs: headache, irritability, weaving, missing obvious cues. Stop if any appear.
• Keep hydrating. Add electrolytes in heat or on very long days.

At Your Final Fuel Stop (your ForgedRider finish)

• Put fuel in the tank.
• Take a clear finish photo with both your odometer and your fuel receipt in the same frame.
• Tap Finish in the app to proceed to certification.
• Choose your patch, sticker, or digital-only option.
• Submit your payment.
• Most rides get certified in minutes. Some rides require manual review and get certified in days.

After the Ride

• You're the newest ForgedRider.
• Eat, drink, and celebrate.
• Get some rest.
• Start planning your next ride challenge.
