Every Practice (and every ride), riders should be carrying the following items:

• Water Chances are, you don't know what your ride leader has in store for practice. Bring more than you think you'll need--always!

• Energy Bar

• Spare Tube (Make sure to get the right size and valve stem)

• Tube Patch Kit

• Air Source (CO2, Pump or both--If you use CO2, make sure to have extra cartridges. One 16 Oz CO2 cartridge will not fully inflate a 29 inch tire

• Sidewall Patch

• Your Photo ID (if you have one)

• Multi-Tool

• Quick Link For Your Chain Size

• Zip Ties (hundreds of uses)

• Duct Tape (More uses than zip ties!)

• Cell Phone (if you have one)

This list isn't all inclusive. You can always carry more! Remember, it's probably a long walk back to the Trailhead!
