What do you carry when riding?

[orange71]

Bottle of 1995 Pichon Baron and two glasses (the second in case I get lucky )

huzzah!

I take a multitool (inc. chain splitter), 2 spare inner tubes, puncture kit, spare jockey wheel, a few chain links, zip ties, other little washers and bolts/nuts etc. They have done me proud over the years!

riding round Afan today, normal trail kit: 2x tubes, pump, shockpump, multitool, tyre levers, chaintool, zipties, waterproof, mobile, car keys, cash, food and 2L water.

I was riding with Mr Superstrong who seemed to only have a small snackbar, waterbottle and an innertube taped to his stem racer style.

Not quite sure why I always end up carrying all the gear when he's the speedy one... :roll:
