Packing tips for RAGBRAI

The RAGBRAI site (www.ragbrai.com) has a packing list somewhere, thought I'd add a couple of items that I found useful on RAGBRAI 2009:

  1. bicycle rag & chain lube: you'll probably have to ride in the rain. It's nice to be able to clean your chain afterwards.
  2. click stand (http://www.click-stand.com): basically a stick to hold your bike up. Works better on soft ground or uneven ground than a standard kickstand. Helpful when trying to pump up your tires, for example, or to park your bike near your tent.
