In cooler weather I wear the inner layer of my arm winter gear:
custom arm protector and custom polyester tubes (bridging arm protector and cotton T shirt sleeve).
I wear the bright (screaming yellow) Pearl Izumi Zephrr vest even in the hottest weather because I want to be easily visible.
I wear size 43 in summer and size 47 cycling shoes in winter.

and 32 oz of water. On the road, I fill the water bottle with Platypus shutoff value. I made a wood rack for the freezer to hold the water bottle at a 30 degree angle and 3 cups for making the large ice cubes.
Cotton handkerchief for wiping sweat off my face

Two bicycle tubes
Bicycle repair tools
