Guest Blog: Race Kit List

If you are new to bike racing this season, then sometimes the pre-race nerves mean it is hard to remember what you need to take to a race event.

One of the guys on the Wightlink Race Team @JamesEbdon has put together this great Kit List of things to take with you when you go racing:

• Bike (in good working order!)
• Helmet
• Race kit (shorts, jersey etc...)
• Cycling Shoes
• Race Licence
• Money (£20 should cover it)
• Rucksack or small gym bag
• Food
• Water
• Energy drink
• Recovery drink  
• Sunglasses
• Leg warmers & Arm warmers
• Tube, pump, levers
• HR strap if you have one
• Clothing to keep warm (jersey, gilet, winter jacket...)

If you've got any more ideas of things to take, please feel free to comment below.

Thanks Jimbo - really useful stuff!
