Much of this depends upon the terrain. I was riding on a logging road
in northern Montana a few months ago and blew my rear derailleur
hanger. I walked back :-(

Otherwise:
Water (prefer Camelback MULE)
Clif Shots
Spare tube
Crank Bros toolkit
Patch kit
Pump
Road Rash cleaning kit
Lightweight shell
Spare rear derailleur hanger

More food and clothing depending upon the altitude, weather and
duration.

Cheers,
Brian

I have a Topeak Toolbar, patch kit, extra tube. Is there anything else to
carry besides water? Doing like a 45 Mile RT ride this weekend.

I'm new to this!
