Counting down the days to my next race (#3) and I'm starting to formulate a plan for the hours leading up to it. I don't have a ritual down yet, so I thought I'd ask those who race regularly, what are your "musts" before a bike race?

I'm thinking about bringing my shuffle. Music really helps me relax and focus. But it will mean putting the headphones/shuffle into a pocket of my jersey during the race. It's point-to-point and I'll have no where to leave it at the start.
