I carry 2 tubes, a patch kit and an Axiom pump that is a combination hand pump and CO2 cartridge inflator. I also keep dollar bills handy in case my tire is punctured and I can slip the dollar bill in between the tube and tire to get me home.
If you decide to carry a compact hand pump, know that you could snap off the valve if you are tired and you are struggling to inflate it to pressure. It happened to my mtb.I like the Topeak Master Blaster road pump because it has a retractable hose which makes it unlikely that you'll break off the valve during inflation.
