pre race checklist

So my young racer fails to follow our long established pre race checklist, forgets his mtb shoes on the bed at home.

Like 3 hours away. 

Says I: you guys have your sunglasses? Yes Dad.  Water, gloves? Check. Shoes, helmets? Yep.  Thinking a checklist is only good if you like, actually check, amirite Dads?

Both racers now safely off on up the mountain.

Time for pre race checklist of my own.
