Stuff to take with you on a long day ride

Stuff to take with you on a long day ride: This is the essential stuff


1.- Back pack (Camelback MULE or similar is good)
2.- Waterproof - the kind that packs down very small is best, then ALWAYS take it with you.
3.- Water - 2 litres for a long ride
4.- Food - sandwiches and Chocolate Maxim bars or Malt loaf (hey this isn't a magazine I can recommend what I like!)
5.- Pump - buy a good one, the really small mini pumps are a joke!
6.- Tyre levers if you need them - see the bit about removing tyres in punctures.
7.- Two spare inner tubes (New are best, or repaired, following the guide in punctures) Puncture repair outfit and extra UNOPENED tube of solution.
8.- A piece of medium emery paper 3 inches long and 1 inch wide. A small stick of french chalk.
9.- A cut up Crest tube (See Pinch Punctures on this site)
10.- A carpet needle.
11.- A card of linen thread. (See Repair a torn tyre on this site)
12.- A Chain splitter - Buy a good one.
13.- At least two Shimano black pins (if you have a Shimano chain) tape these inside the lid of your puncture repair kit.
14.- A set of allen keys, the penknife style ones are good.
15.- A small screwdriver.
16.- A first aid kit including an elastic bandage (from Boots The Chemist if you're UK) - these are the only ones that will stay on your elbow or shoulder till you ride back to civilisation.
17.- A Spokey spoke key.
18.- A felt tip pen that will show on inner tubes.
19.- Some lunch/phone money.
