When I currently ride, I basically have the small seat pouch to carry a spare tube, small patch kit, CO2, little multi tool, money and a cell phone. I ride with 2 water bottles and carry some bars and gels in my jersey. This is for my normal Sunday morning ride of 40-60 miles during the summer. In 2 weeks I am going to ride in an organized Century ride. The course opens at 6:00 am however it will be dark and chilly so I will wait until 7:30-8:00 to take off. If it is chilly I will wear a long sleeve jersey however what do I do if it gets warm by 11:00? There are 5 stops along with the start/ Finish so I do not think I will need to bring more than 3-4 bars and some gels. Do I carry a fanny pack with a t shirt? small back pack? What do you all ride with on longer rides? What other items should I carry?
