    What will you NOT LEAVE HOME WITHOUT?

    Hi Everyone:

    I am sure that there are many threads regarding this topic, but when I tried the "search", I keep getting - "Sorry - no matches".

    Whether you are going out to cycle 5 miles or 100 miles, what do you make sure you have with you??

    I want to be 100% sure that we have EVERYTHING that we might need. (or, when I'm going "solo"...everything that I might need.)

    Thanks so much !

    Have a peaceful evening.

    Denise

    All right - serious answer.

    My cell phone
    tools - they are always on the bike. I have a Topeak Survival Gear Box


    It's very small, but has all the tools I could possible need for on the road repairs. I also have a mini leatherman.

    at least one tube, sometimes two depending on the length of the ride
    a pump
    food
    water

    Mimi! We will harrass you to the ends of the earth! Why did our foremothers invent bloomers? Why did the suffragettes march? Why did our mothers burn their bras?

    Stand up and fix your own flat! Didn't you watch Mary Poppins?

    Cast off the shackles of yesterday!
    Shoulder to shoulder into the fray!
    Our daughters' daughters will adore us
    And they'll sing in grateful chorus

    I think I now have you down as Sadistic Kate............my comment is I don't have a dog and bark myself.............

    Then again, I am pretty stuffed if my partner is not around, so perhaps I should take heed?
