Packing List Clothes (this is a generic list):
Riding clothes
Non-riding clothes (about two outfits)
Sleeping clothes
Swimming suit
Sweatshirt
Towel for showers/beach

Packing List Misc: Wrist guards (even if you don’t wear these when riding they are nice to have in case you have a bad fall and need to immobilize the wrist)
Knee brace (I would suggest that everybody have a couple of these along as they can make a big difference in minimizing knee pain)
Ankle brace
Wraps (to wrap up a wrist or ankles)
Sunscreen
Sun burn cream
Aspirin/Ibuprofen
Toothpaste
Bug spray
Passport
Medical Information
Hostel Card
Camera
CamelBak
Gloves
Shoes for riding
Shoes/sandals for leisure
Sunglasses
Helmet (if you wear one)
Rain Gear
Compass
a French dictionary/phrasebook (for those tight situations when John Stone is not around and you want to order a crepe with no cheese and extra ham)
a general fold-out map of France—big enough to include Cologne and Barcelona
a good watch
travel alarm (possibly on watch)
Travelers Checks
Cash (Bring some cash, just in case you can’t use the travelers checks or credit card)
Credit Card/Debit Card (this is one of the easier ways to get local currency. But, we will be in small towns that may not have access to the international banking world.)
Make photocopies of all documents (including passport) that you will take with. Have one copy with you on the tour and leave one copy at home.

Packing List Tools:
For tools, we were talking about having different Tiers of what tools to bring. Tier 1 is what everybody should bring, while Tier 3 is for stuff that we only need one of and will be stored in the minivan. One note to all the riders, while everyone should help each other and share spare parts, if the person who lends a spare needs it for themselves, they should get it back. So, bringing some spare parts is a good idea. I wouldn’t expect to make it for the entire trip without having some sort of mechanical trouble.

Tier 1
Alan wrenches (for adjusting the breaks, frame, or seat)
Spoke wrench (Coker’s take special spoke wrenches. Even if you don’t know how to true your wheel, make sure you have one available)
Leatherman or equivalent (this has assorted tools/knifes that are useful in many different situations)
Wrench to adjust brake (it would be really annoying to have the brake stuck on and have no tools to adjust it)
Pedal wrench
Extra Tire
Extra Tube (I’m thinking of bringing two, just in case I get a rash of flats)
First Aid Kit (this isn’t ‘tools’ but everyone should have some sort of basic first aid with them)

Tier 2 (this is the bring it if you want to list)
Extra set of pedals (just in case the bearing freeze up)
Zip ties (for the cycle computer or for anything else that needs to be taken care of)
Extra cycle computer
Extra cycle computer base (in case a wire breaks)
Extra bearings (in case your uni falls into the salty sea and the bearings get trashed)
Extra cranks (Having a different size might be a good idea as well)
Extra spokes
Extra spoke nipples
Extra brake pads
Patch Kit
Pump or C02 cartridges
Tire Irons (to remove the tire)
Extra bladder for camelbak
Extra mouthpiece for camelbak
Tools to take off the seat
Tools take off frame
Extra bolts (for extension, frame, seat, etc.)

Tier 3 (this is for stuff that only one person would need to get and would stay in the mini-van)
Grinder (the Hoverath’s will let us take this, just in case)
Tools to put on and take out bearings
Locktite (different kinds in case something doesn’t want to stay tight)
Extra Hub (In case something bad happens, it would be hard to get hold of a hub)
Good quality pump
