-written directions
-helmet
-bug spray
-rain jacket
-sunglasses

You need a pump or CO2. FWIW, I'm a belt-and-suspenders kind of guy when it comes to flats so I carry both CO2 and a pump, and both a spare tire and a patch kit. The first flat gets a new tube and CO2. The second and subsequent flats (yes, it's happened) get a patch and pump. If I've had multiple flats I'm probably going to be late anyway.
