Above is just a preliminary checklist of things every rider must have with him / her on either solo or a group bike trip. Any other thing is as per your own interest and habit.
Please go through the article to figure out “How to plan a road trip?“. In this blog I have explained about the planning for solo or group rides. Importance of printed and digital version of the route. Checking weather conditions in advance and being aware of the mobile network condition in advance, because of which you are not lost in any wilderness.
