The Second Echelon

Noah and Christian discuss routines and habits of training and preparation that reduce stress and improve chances of success. Ever had a mechanical on race day? Forgot your clothes or helmet? What crucial details might you be missing from your pre-ride/race ritual?  What is your excuse for not using a taillight?  Do you need to fill your bottles at races?   Being prepared alleviates stress and allows you to focus on the ride or race.
