Thanks gals....Fortunately, not many bugs here, but I do carry a sunscreen stick. Have multi-tool, but need one with little pliers I think. I do have a little camelback - can shove a few things in there. Steri-strips -ewww - haven't had my first abrasion/laceration yet! I should take an orienteering course if I expect a compass to help me. And Zen, if I carry cookies, I may attract bears! I'll stick to bars. I'm actually not skilled enough to get up to where the bears live here. Just the mountain lions ! My MB skills have already made me a better roadie! I am having a blast! Tokie
