Pre-Race Check-up

It's the day before the race, and although I'm not really 100% OK I went to Shopwise to do some shopping for the big event tomorrow.

Below's my pre-race list for tomorrow's Ride with Pride in La Mesa. If you've got yours, feel free to share it.

Buy enough bottles of Gatorade to make sure your body's properly hydrated before, during and after the race.

Buy a bunch a bananas for after-ride food (in case you're too tired to drive to the nearest decent food place -- Chowking).

Buy cooking spray that you can apply on your bike to prevent mud from sticking tomorrow.

Order pasta from Sicilian Pasta for tonight's dinner and tomorrow's breakfast.

Lubricate your bike's chain and make sure the gears are shifting properly.

Check the brakes and tire pressure.

Remove items from the bike that are unnecessary for tomorrow's race (i.e., rear blinkers).

Edit the contents of the hydration pack to make sure you only bring the things that you need.

Prepare the stuff that you need for tomorrow today (i.e., gear, after-ride clothes, sunscreen, food and drinks).

Pray for good weather.

Set the damn alarm clock properly.

Sleep early.

Take EPO and beat Dandan!!! Bwahahahaha!
