The water top ups are good to know, i may reduce and alter what i carry.
Been playing around and can get a 3ltr camelback bladder to function in a messenger style bag, but the bladder needs some attention. (skanky taste)
Taped on 2 bottle cages (no bosses on frame) so 1.5ltr on bike, if i carry another 3 bottles that gives me 3.75ltr over the bladder/bottle combo of 4.5ltr and i can freeze the bottles overnight so cool water for a while.
Got a freebe energy drink and some MOD ones so can add to bottles through the day.
Found an old saddle-pack crammed the cable lock and tools into that, 8/10 13/15mm spanners, patches and levers, multi-tool, roll of tape, zip ties if i can find any. Proper mini pump, so mini i might borrow a larger one if i need to as mine takes a while to pump tyres up........ very lightweight though.....not as practical.
3x spare tubes, 2 from Tescos at £3 each 700cx28-35 and a Michelin one from a LBS at £6 so should be covered on flats.
Munchies, poncho just in case, hat and Tescos helmet, mini can of BO basher and will pack a spare T-shirt for train home.
Might throw in a basic personal firstaid kit and some other random crap :)
Glass of vino is in place of expected cider shandies.
