Your Supplies for a Ride

Anyways, what do you guys take with you, and how do you carry it? CamelPak? Backpack? One of those triangular frame bags? Maybe a saddle bag? Discuss fellas 🙂

For me it depends on the duration of the ride...on my local loop which is about 12 km of mostly climbing, I take a bottle with Energade or Fast Fuel, and in my saddlebag I'll have a spare tube, tyre levers and keys.

On longer rides I'll wear a Camelbak (for some reason I dislike riding with something on my back, but have little choice), and I'll carry a spare tube, levers, puncture repair kit, multitool, cell phone, energy bars, keys and some money.

Edit: I have a double-shot frame pump on the bike all the time!

A short ride will see me with a small saddle bag with a tube, tyre levers, small multitool and a mobile phone, and maybe a mars bar or something. Small pump taped to frame and bottle of juice.

My saddle pack always has: tube, patch kit, levers, chain tool, spare Power Link, multi tool, spoke wrench, and $20.00.

My pump is mounted on mt frame. I'll use a water bottle on short rides. On long rides and I'll use my Hydra Pac & bring a couple extra spokes and nipples.
