I am planning to do a double century soon. The course is twice around a century loop, with a check point at the half-way point. You can send a drop bag to the checkpoint, which you can access at mile 50 & 150 (you can get back you your car at mile 100). The ride rules are randonneur style, so you cannot get assistance, except at the checkpoints. So I want to have anything I may need either in the bag or in my car.
Here is what I have come up with for my drop bag checklist (let me know what I've forgotten):
Dry clothes (in case of rain)
