On long ride, what do you usually carry?
In the camel back I usually bring a cell phone, a patch kit, CO2 inflater, some power bars, a knife and a small first aid kit.
So what do you all carry?

On long rides I generally carry a water bottle, patch kit and CO2, power bar, cell phone, and a lighter. Not sure why I bring a lighter, guess its just a weird habit.  Maybe in case I get stranded I can make a fire. Only problem is I generally need a highly flammable liquid to successfully start a fire. Oh well. |

Some people carry lighters for motivation, put a fire under your ass literally! I'm with the rest of you guys 'cept I can't forget the Gatoraid, it goes in the ol backpack as well. TP is smart too, not only for emergency #2's but cold air tends to make the ol snoz run.

I'm a packrat when it comes to riding... I can't seem to leave anything behind. I've got a Hydrapak Keg w/ 1300cu of space and room for two 100 fl oz bags. I usually carry a first aid kit, tool kit, cell phone, car keys, mini wallet (license, health card, cash, credit card), spare tire, pump, inhaler, tissues and trail mix/energy bar. Oh, and don't forget the digital camera for when you reach the top!

Welcome to the forum Soundezgn. Do you actually carry 2 100oz bladders, or just one? I find one full is plenty heavy.
