Hi everybody-

Well... assuming that Rita doesn't kill the fun next weekend, I'm doing my first bike to the beach Oct. 1st and 2nd. I've read the ride website's recommendations for what to bring (like toiletries, sleeping bag, clothes, etc), but I was wondering if you guys have any unusual favorite items, or things-not-to-bring that you've discovered through experience and are willing to pass along?

Thanks!

Also-- hailing from San Antonio, our thoughts are with everyone in Rita's path. Be safe--
