  More or less, this doesn't vary too much from MTB to road bike. I carry a patch kit, tube, a
  frame pump, a little cash ($10 or $20), a credit card, driver's license, water, cell phone,
  sometimes food,...

  Does caffeine help with bonking? I usually just use a gu, caffeine seems like it would just get
  my heart racing like crazy.The worst bonk I ever had, the one thing that got me home was a

  I meant to comment on this a few days ago, but kept putting it off. I have a particularly
  memorable story of me bonking.I hopped on my MTB one morning and rode 6 miles to the trailhead.

  27.9 miles yesterday. Best ride I've had so far on the new bike. I finally feel like I have it

  I'm not quite brave enough to go clipless on a MTB, with the rooted trails that I ride. I do go
  with clips and straps on my road bike and will probably switch to the same on my MTB as well.

  I've tried squirting with the water bottle, which worked OK, but wastes valuable water.Lately,
