The Packing List

For the stake of posterity, here's the packing list that I've been dreading over. I'll have to see how many items are lost, stolen or thrown in a ditch by the end of the ride. Likewise, it will be interesting to note what I omitted from the list.

On the bike:
Light, front & rear, bike computer, water bottles (2), helmet, pump & shoes
