10 things to take on a back country ride

Even the most experienced cyclists can encounter challenges and, when you’re a long way from the nearest road with no mobile phone coverage, it pays to be prepared. We suggest the following:

Spare tubes
Food
Basic toolkit
Emergency bag
Rain jacket
Strapping tape
Thermal top and leggings
Hat and gloves
Personal locator beacon
Camera – take time to stop and capture the epic country around you!
