I asked Viktor if he could tell us what he packed for his trip and if he wished he'd had something he didn't pack or pack something he didn't need. Here's his list.....
Contents of my “clothes pack” (i.e. the thing on the rack):
- 1 zip lock bag with shorts, t-shirt, ear plugs and eye cover (as used on airplane)
- 1 zip lock bag with a 2nd kit (jersey, shorts, socks, headband)
- 1 zip lock bag with electronics – camera battery charger, i-phone charger/cable, paper cue sheets, spare batteries for GPS, wallet
- Rolled up water shoes (to walk around in when not cycling)
- 1 zip lock bag with Chamois Butt’r and Coppertone Sport sunscreen (SPF-30)
- 1 zip lock bag with toiletries – razor, toothbrush, toothpaste
- 1 zip lock bag with pro-link lube
- Spare tubes
- Power bars, gels, Nuun tablets, and hydration powder – all individual sizes for quick mixing
I also kept my usual saddle bag which contains:
- 2 spare tubes
- 3 allen keys
- Full size chain tool
- Tire levers
- Screw driver (flat & Philips)
- Chain master link
- Derailleur cable, brake cable (1 each)
- Money (eaz comment: now we know where he keeps it!!)
- Emergency ID with doctor and family contact info
- Elastics and twist ties plus zip-ties
The only thing I wish I had was a safety pin since the rack/pack combination was held together with Velcro and the Velcro was not holding well.
If I have forgotten anything that I actually took, I’ll let you know, but no, there’s nothing else that we needed…
