Just out of curiosity, what do you bring with you when heading out for a long spin? I bring ID, phone, a few quid, keys and my medicinal spray. In my saddle bag, there's a spare tube, tyre tools and a puncture repair kit. I've a valve for a petrol station air hose as I don't always want to be carrying a pump and not sure…

750ml bidon of water (sometimes a second depending on distance)
rear lights

In saddlebag
2 x spare tube
small multitool w/ chain breaking tool
Small length of duct tape, wrapped flat a few times for tire boot or to tape something if needed
tire levers
cable ties (not sure why I carry these)
Spare quick-link
self adhesive tire patches

nurofen, only used these once but keep them there just incase

In Jersey

o communication
o share location with other half using the glimpse app
o debit card details loaded on phone for purchases using contactless
o blue tooth to headphones (bone conducting so can still hear traffic)

If there is a chance I'll still be out when its getting dark I'll
stick on the front lights and sometimes put a small hi-viz in the
jersey pocket.
