I normally just carry a tube, co2, tire levers and a multi tool in my seat bag. As far as jersey pockets i'll bring a couple energy gels and a clif bar or something similar depending on how long the ride is. Also carry a small hand pump just in case my co2 fails. Phone, some cash, my ID, and credit card in a ziploc bag i always bring no matter how long the distance.

1. Energy Gels - Gu, Gu Chomps, Cliff Shots - won't melt when warm like peanut butter does and packs easier
2. Electrolyte drink and water 3. 2 tubes / 2 CO2 cartridges 4. Tire levers and a multi-tool 5. Cash and a bank card 6. Cell phone 7. ID just in case You will be glad you had it. Also a larger patch in a patch kit can also be used as a boot in the tire. Good luck be safe and have fun. |
How are you guys buying stuff along the ride? Do you take your bike into the store with you? There's no way I'd leave any $1000+ bike out front while I pop in to buy a drink/snack. I dont see a U-lock on anybodies list (not surprising), so whats the secret?

Bring beer, cases of it.
