I agree with most all that has been said, except, no hose....brush....

And lights, gotta have good ones. Gotta. We got NightRider trail Rats. One for the helmet and one for the bars. DH got'em on ebay. Less that 1/2 price. He is the man!

Other than that....have fun, and keep us posted.

Oh and I ride my seat lower on both mt bikes than I do on my road bike....
