What to take on a long ride?
Saturday I'm going to do a long ride, approximately 35-50 miles. What should I bring along? I thought about a larger fanny pack, tubes, pump, tire levels, cell phone, 2 water bottles(one water, one Gatorade), cash. Anything else I should include? Thank you
Hope you don't need it...
Insurance card and driver's license (or copies). Should always carry:
Flat kit (2 tubes, tire levers, pump or CO2)
Food (nothing new on a long ride; I like Mojo bars, PB and J and bananas)
Gatorade (2 bottles worth) and gatorade powder in your favorite flavor as you will need more)
Bike shorts with gel chamois (but again, don't wear a new pair; what if they rub?)
