Are you sure they don't mean spare tire tube? You should always carry a spare tube...or two. You're not likely to need to replace the tire but the tube...yeah.
I keep mine in the under seat bag. If you use a camelback some have room for extra gear.
Just a note to the TE ALC gals while I'm thinking of it and I may have said this earlier but Shadon on the ride I reccomend you carry 2 extra spokes. The mechanics can fix most anything but they might not have those especially if you have fancy schmancy wheels. Some riders tape the spokes inside the seat tube, I thought the rattle would irritate me so just kept them in my luggage.
