Carry tools to fix most problems - work out of this toolkit in the garage. Better to find you need some tool/socket/wrench/etc in the garage than in the mountains.
Keep your shit maintained; fix little problems before they become major problems.
Dress for the crash.
Know your limits.
Done some marathon dirt/enduro rides, but never any cross-country travel.
