Other bits
As well as the bike, it’s worth carrying a couple of extra bits…
Pump and a spare inner tube (it’s much quicker to change an inner tube than trying to fix a puncture on a muddy track)… don’t forget that you’ll need a set of tyre levers.
Water bottle - I always find that a drink on the way round keeps me going. Water is absolutely fine.
If we’re going out as a group, then I’ll aim to carry a mini-tool, first-aid kit and a mobile phone as well.
