Bottle of powder in one holder, spare tire in the other. Bento box of food, aerobars because I use them on long rides. Had a 100oz camelbak on as well.....neon green.

I had a 10 hour day planned and it's a bit desolate out there on weekdays. "Style" takes a back seat, preparedness wins.

Also had a cooler in my car with lunch. I gave up 12 miles after lunch.

I forgot to mention the wind coming down from Mt Baldy towards Manker flats was brutal, and I did use my aerobars a bit there....at 4-5mph on a 13% grade. Ridiculous indeed. Going back down to manker flats was even worse, I probably could have hit 70mph if I was an idiot.
