brevet packing list

[bikingandbaking]

This is mostly for my own reference, because I am tired of running around the house thinking I've probably forgotten something. And I have my first 200k of the season tomorrow, and am not really feeling up to it, but I'm going to give it a whirl anyway. So I might as well make myself a list, so that I don't forget anything at 4:30am.
