Sounds like you've got a pretty good list going... I would add spare parts, unless thats included in your toolbox. I carry a box with a collection of old parts that still work, including but not limited to derailleur, shifter, crank arms, rotors, brake pads, pedals, etc. If you have the parts laying around you mine as well bring them. Nothing sucks more than paying twice what something is worth at the mountain, or ending your weekend short.

Haha, I started reading this and by "Roman candles" said "sounds like this is Platty-specific."

Folding/camp chairs are key, as others have said. I bring basically every usable spare part I have (bashguards, chainrings, extra set of tires, even an extra set of old brakes that still sort of work). You never know what can break.

borcester rhymes
bike
protective gear (armor n shiz)
depending on weather conditions one or two pairs of riding clothes (jersey and shorts)
chamois shorts, underarmor top.
5.10 riding shoes, regular shoes (last year my feet got wet every weekend)
street clothes you drove up in, and one extra set to change into
sleeping bag/tent/air mattress if camping
toolbox, spares for brakes, extra toobz

that's about it. I build my bikes to last typically so I don't have to bring a full bike's worth of spares. I generally buy my food out, which is dumb, or not, depending on whether you like dirty old crap on a bun.
