- Regular Biking Gear: Clipless shoes, socks (x3), cycling shorts (x1-2), jersey, gloves, helmet, sunglasses.
- Wet weather gear: Rain Jacket (mine's fluorescent green; pictures later), rain trousers / pants. Should be fairly light. Even my thin rain jacket gets really hot inside...

- Patch Kit, Tyre Levers, Pump
- Spare Inner Tubes, additional tyre tread, spokes, brake cable.
