I'm still trying to get my system down, but it seems no matter what I do, it takes pretty darn near 30 minutes from the time I get up, to the time I ride away on my bike. I think I did it in 25 once.

So, here's my routine. I get up, go potty, of course (sorry! ), throw on the cycling clothes, put my hair in a pony tail, brush my teeth (sometimes I skip that since I do it again after eating and drinking sports drinks), put on sunblock, go downstairs, let the dogs out to go potty, start eating a banana and sip water while I get my sports drink(s) ready, put my Blistex on and put it in my jersey as well as the garage door opener and a few tisues (neatly folded!), and my cell phone, get my bike down out of the bike closet, pump up my tires, put Chamois Buttr' in my shorts (after most likely going potty again!), put on my shoes, my helmet and my sunglasses, put my bike computer on my bike and turn it on, roll the bike out, close the garage door and wait about 30 seconds for my GPS to kick in and then ..... AHHHHHHHHHH .... finally time to ride!!!!!!!!!!!

I'm sure many of you do way less than I do to prepare. Dh is a big advocate of pumping tires every time I ride. He used to not pump every time and found he got a lot more flat tires. I know I could get my drinks ready the night before, but it still has to be done and I'd rather just do it in the a.m.

Anyways, I'm wondering what some of your routines are and how long it takes you to ride away.
