Before taking a spin on the valley's back roads and mountain bike trails, be sure to carry the essentials. Not only are bike tools important, so is knowing your ability for what to do with them.

Jokingly, I carry the tools and find someone who knows what to do with them. The reality of that statement is really not a good idea. Perhaps the most humbling aspect of going for a bike ride in these parts is admitting to yourself what you can and can't do with the tools you carry.
