on any ride, whether a 40 mile training jaunt or a 120 mile or longer enurance day I carry the following in my jersey pocket- left: 2 packets of gu, 1 packet of chamois butter, center pocket: jimi wallet with 20 dollars cash, a credit card with a low limit, a copy of drivers license and a key to my car at home so I can get in through the garage, right pocket: cell phone in a zipock bag, with both ICE ( in case of emergency) numbers on auto dial and a sweat rag for when I stop.. Two bottles on the bike, two tubes, inflation system, two cartridges and a patch kit in under seat kit, road id on right wrist and another around head tube on my bike. Inside my helmet,small adhesive patch with my two emergency phone numbers,my age and birthdate and penicillan allergy.

This is all I have ever carried and probably ever will carry- I was also joyfully discovered that a small collapsible back pack can be jammed into my under seat tool kit so no worries about having to carry extra clothing that I shed.
