Which gear is a must-have for this trip?
Cell phone
A cell phone will help you keep tabs on your fellow riders and keep you in touch with your nonriding friends in an emergency. And for riding in rural areas consider a phone with analog roaming.

Handheld or GPS unit
With a handheld, you can keep tabs on how far you've gone and, if you're a racer, how fast you're finishing your ride. A GPS unit will come in handy for planning and tracking your route and for locating the nearest park, restaurant, or grocery store for a pit stop.

Smart phone
Your bike will have limited space for carrying gadgets, so if you want to combine a cell phone, a handheld, and a GPS unit into one handy device, a smart phone is a great option.

MP3 player
While we wouldn't recommend listening to music while you're riding, a compact MP3 player can be a great way to clear your mind when you're taking a break. You can also use it to get you charged mentally for that next hill.
