don't necessarily count on them having tubes. Read what I just posted under my charity ride today here in NM. It was a very valuable lesson learned about depending on SAG. As for what else to carry, I carried a CO2 pump, extra cartridges, my cell phone, ID, ElectroMix packets so I could make my own replacement drink and Larabars. Because my diet is so restrictive, I tend to carry my own food as a better safe than sorry thing. The rest stops had PowerGels, fruits, Gatorade and water and that was it. Some people were happy with that, some weren't. Lesson learned, next time I'll have a tube with me too just in case!
