a note on your kitchen table where your going and when your back..
that should be enough for anything over 2hrs
That would be a seriously heavy camelbak. Definitely not what you want to be carrying around on your local Red Hill jaunt. But, you could also add in: shock pump
I carry most of that with no bother, would be about the same weight as the 5 tubes that you should carry on every ride...
Headbands and hunting knife though... is there something you're not telling us Shane, needle and thread for impromptu stitches too??
make sure one of your fellow riders is weighed down with the 10kg camelbak carrying all that heavy stuff - then all you need to take is some food & water
