Will take a spare tyre (i am known for slashing tyres on long rides ), 3 or so tubes, small multi-tool, chain breaker with powerlink plus a few spare links and a few cable ties.
Will carry some bars, fruit etc also, but we will stop for a proper breakfast, lunch and most probably dinner also.
Bring your 2 largest bottles of water (i like to have one with just water and the other with powerade/gatorade).
I will also carry a vest, arm warmers, spary jacket etc as the weather could turn at any moment.
We run along the train line for a considerable amoutn of time so if we cant fix a problem on the side of the road then the train shouldnt be too far away.
Note: Please do not be offended if i recomend at Katoomba (or the jenolan caves rd turn off) that i think you are struggling and best if you turn back. This goes for myself also. Its a long way and need to keep up a decentish pace.
So far though all that are coming along (or have expressed interest) will comfortably make the distance
Lets hope/pray for good weather on the day

This certainly proved to me that Blacktown to JC and back is going to be long hard day. Still not sure that I can do it. Think you younger strong guys will be fine but you will know you have had a day out by the time you get home.
Make sure your bikes are fit for the job. If you have any components at all which have the moniker " race" on them be sure to remove and replace with something heavy duty. Have heavy duty tyres, strong wheels etc because the bikes take a hammering. My rear light simply snapped off somewhere along the way!
So here is the data for Kings Langley / Katoomba and Katoomba / Jenolan Caves for you to salivate over. Just put them both together to make one big suffer fest!

Not sure about the ride timing on this Kings Langley / Katoomba record since my Garmin was switching itself off regularly on this outing. Hence yesterday's "hard re set". MTB Steve has been up that way twice in last two weeks. He'll know how long it takes.
