It can be intimidating to pack for a long day riding. For a safe and enjoyable day out on the trails, CamelBak athlete Eric Porter focuses on 4 key areas in addition to bringing plenty of water:
Repair: Flat tires are among the most common issues, so you might need an inner tube and pump in addition to a tool kit.
First aid: Make sure to bring the basics to stabilize common injuries so you can have a safe ride.
Food: Keep up your energy with easy-to-access snacks.
Weather prep: Make sure to bring gear you might need if the weather changes (jacket, rain gear, etc).
