When you going. If it's summer then a good supply of t-shirts and some EDZ type summer undersuit items should sort you out, soft shoes and jeans for the evening. Don't forget the V-spong for you pitstops!

I took a tailpack with a tank bag and had enough room, I didn't even expand the tank bag to full. I went for 4 days.

V-spong - the spongy thing in a plastic bag that keeps it wet which cleans your visor of all the bits you'll gather on the road and on the Ring, if you know what I mean. Great for when you are filling up or buying more Ring tickets.
