Heck, we have support so seldom we're happy for anything here!
Something wet, something salty, something with caffeine, a floor pump, a set of tools.... Anything beyond that is pure luxury. Thanks for volunteering!

Bring tubes, of course, but also add a couple old tires, in case of split sidewalls. First aid supplies would be a plus, along with a few meds: pain killers and digestive aids. Peanut butter and jelly sandwiches are economical and popular.

A spare bike, and the tools to take parts off of it, in case a significant mechanical issue happens to a rider's bike.

Sun block comes in handy, especially if someone forgot theirs.
A cooler with ice is always a hit too.
And i can never get enough of Lays (classic) tater chips. Those things are magical.

chain lube was the most popular item I brought with me to man a controle at last weekends 400k. A downpour had created some pretty noisey chains.
