Malvern Mad Hatter - Advice

[Dean evans]

Hello,

Just after some advice really. Doing my first cycling event in a few weeks and wondered what the general "thing to do" was... in terms of what to wear, do people take bags with drinks and food or just pop them in there jersey/bike? where do you keep spares such as spare inner tube etc if there necessary?

Hope you can help!

Regularly cycle round that way and there is a spring on the West Malvern Road, around the 39mile mark which all the routes pass, so you can top your water up there. The water is exceptionally pure from Malvern Springs and the flow is usually very good there. Saddle bags are good for tools/tubes/food. I would carry a multi tool, a tube, puncture repair patches and some food like flapjack/sports gel/banana.
