- Sweat wicking top
- Eye protection (glasses)
- Cycling shoes (if you're going clipless)
- Tube patch kit
- Extra Tube
- Camelback (to carry all your stuff and H2O)
- Tire levers
- Multi-Tool
- First Aid stuff (you can go all out, or not - it's your skin)
- Food (Cliff Bars, etc)
- CO2 or pump
- Chain Tool (if not in your multitool)
- Water Botttle(s)
Good luck!
