What to bring

If you are coming to the Biketour, here are some things that you might find useful (and we think are essential):

... a bike - read more here: FAQ#Bikes
A bike helmet (in Spain helmets outside of towns and cities, when it's not hot and you are not going up hill are mandatory! - see http://www.cyclehelmets.org/1068.html)
A bike lock (and key for it!)
Bikelights, back and front (we try not to cycle in the dark, but if we do - cars will NOT expect you)
A puncture repair kit, spare tubes and bike pump (just in case)
A container to keep maps dry
Water container, it's gonna be hot so this one is important! (min. 1 litre)
A tent (it's usually possible to share...let us know if you don't have one)
Sleeping bag & mat
Paniers to carry your stuff in, carrying a backpack is no fun at all!
Cycling clothes for all types of weather (but take as little clothes possible) - light colored, synthetic clothes preferred to resist sun and sweat, bright/strong/reflective clothes handy to 'be noticed' by motorized traffic)
Swimming stuff :-)
Your mobile phone and charger
Organic (biodegradable/non-polluting) soap, shampoo and toothpaste
Sun cream, sunglasses, long sleeved shirts
Waterproof jacket
Medication you (might) need
Plate, cup & cutlery
A flashlight/torch, ideally a headlight
Valid ID like a passport
You might need a Visa
Money - in 2012, Biketour costs around € 5 per day, and you might want to buy stuff yourself.
Vegan and/or vegetarian recepies for one (or two) pot meals on the campfire, some herbs & spices you like
