After 20 years of mountain/urban bike riding I'm back on a road bike and just got a Trek 1.5 and have some general questions...

1. Any tweaks I should really do to the bike as soon as I get it home and before a long ride? (I work in IT and always tweak a new pc before it gets used...thats why I ask)

2. Things that you really need to take on a long road bike ride...spare innertube,tyre leavers,money,mobile,water anything else?

3. Is there a real advantage of wearing proper cycling clothes instead of jogging bottoms and t-shirt?
