Audax rides

Re: Mr Greenbank's LEL fixed: Wow. I'm stuck with the fixed for the time being for financial reasons, so I'll see how I do with longer distances. 1200km is a hell of a long way. Re-chapeau. There can't be a huge number of cyclists able to do that sort of ride fixed?

For the "shorter" rides, what sort of kit list am I looking at? For a 100 or 200km effort, for example. Probably try it on my own to start with, plot a route out and back, vaguely near the train line, just in case, mobile phone fully charged. I was thinking:

• fully charged phone
  
• route card and map / shell out for etrex+batteries
  
• spare tube x 2
  
• spare tyre x 1
  
• multi tool (including 15mm for wheel nuts)
  
• puncture kit / levers just in case I need to patch a tube after two punctures!
  
• waterproof jacket
  
• front and back flashing LED lights (at least the 100km should be all daylight, right?)
  
• snacks (restaurant at 1/2 way or something)
  
• cash and cards
  
• cycle computer
  
  

I'd be wearing leggings and a short sleeved top, probably not even with armwarmers (get v hot generally, so little needed)

spds, helmet, (chamois cream?)

spare brake blocks / chain / zip ties / electrical tape -- I've never needed any of this in thousands of miles of commuting, where I've only punctured twice. On a 100k or 200k ride is all this necessary?

My Brooks fell apart this evening, so I've got to repair it tomorrow before I go riding, but I'm going to do a gentle 70km just to see if I can, take 4 hours and go quite gently, see what starts hurting first.

I really appreciate the wealth of knowledge you experienced folk are sharing, by the way, lfgss ftw!
