tube(s), multitool, pump, patch kit, mix of foods- not all sweet energy stuff, something more like human food is a good idea, plenty of water, enough clothes to deal with any weather likely on the day, a phone, money, some way to get back, or just search for the 'what do you carry with you when riding' threadsRock Lobster 853, Trek 1200 and a very old, tired and loved Apollo Javelin.0

hmmm, I could do that. I've ridden westcott to brighton, but I'd be interested to see the BHF routeRock Lobster 853, Trek 1200 and a very old, tired and loved Apollo Javelin.0

ooh, it has the truleigh hill climb in it. now that's a nasty one if you've been big ringing it down the downs link. at £100 sponsorship maybe I won't do it, planning on doing the south downs randonee already, so two might be a little tricky to manage...Rock Lobster 853, Trek 1200 and a very old, tired and loved Apollo Javelin.0
