Spare tube, spoons, patch kit ,pump, multi tool under the seat. Yes, always good to have though there will be SAG vehicles on the road too.

What's a good jersey pocket food ? Clif Blocks are my favorite; easy to eat as you are just riding along. But whatever you like and fits in your jersey pocket is good!

Any insider tips to know ? Not that I can think of. The wind can be brutal in the morning (hoping it won't be this year) and if it is, just keep in mind that it's a temporary condition and it's not a problem once you make the right turn and head down Dillon Road.
