How much does your fine collection weigh, OP? Could be the topic of another thread.
Interested in this as well. Weight aside looks like your prepared for everything!!

My my short 1-2 hour rides at Gap Creek and other local places its just water, phone, tyre lever, patch kit, CO2 canister, & multi-tool. Haven't been lately on any other longer rides warranting much more stuff.

I carry both flats and clipless in my riding pack. Just in case.
Do you carry some sort of lube for your pedal stubs? Or do you prefer to locktight them in place?


I always pack a collapsible bike work stand for my rides. I hurt my back a few years back bending over my upside down bike by the trail side. Never again I promised myself. The work stand is GREAT!

On a serious note. After being involved in and being at a couple of fairly serious stacks this year, I would highly recommend that one of those foil blankets goes in every kit. Once people go into shock these those things are life savers.

Which reminds me, I need to get one.:frusty:

My trusty kit when i ride :)

Why the condom? Emergency water container or just in case you get lucky on the trail??
The condom is pretty obvious. I want to know why you carry a fork AND a coke spoon. That must be a crazy ride you're on!

Get lucky! LOL man i wish hahahahah!
Waterproof my phone :)

Sometimes I ride the Anderson trail around blue mountains and its about 60k's.
The fork and spoon comes in handy as I would bring 2 cans of tuna or some food and have a picnic mid way with mates.

*Condom was just a joke added it in the pic :)*

Damn. I was keen to hear what you did to get all the condom lube off your phone...because a ummm friend of mine needs to know.
