Packing for a Race or Event
As the outdoor cycling season gets underway, many of us are starting to go to races, charity rides, group rides or other cycling events. Being prepared and having all of your necessary items/gear will help you have a successful and fun day.
Event day or race day often includes extra stress or anxiety for many reasons. You may want to do well or win, have a good ride, finish, keep up with your friends, set a new personal record, etc.
You may also find yourself in a new place, riding a new route, or be faced with inclement weather, etc. Being able to minimize the stress or anxiety on the big day will only help you have a better ride. For people new to events or races I recommend packing early and using a checklist.
Here is a list of what I personally pack and also a general checklist. Use both to come up with your own checklist and use it before any big ride, event, or race. Arrive with confidence that you have all you need for the big day. Next time I’ll discuss the importance of having a routine on event day.
Here are the items in my race bag:

The Coolest Bike Gear at the Sea Otter Classic
GQ Magazine selected Arlene Pedersen’s Day of the Dead jersey for their Coolest Bike Gear at the Sea Otter Classic roundup.
Arlene recently joined our Designer Gallery lineup and the cool jersey design is her first item specifically designed for Pactimo.
Like so many of our Designer Gallery artists, Arlene is a lover of cycling and athlete in her own right. A former Olympic Curling Champion, she moved to Tucson, Arizona, from central Canada and became inspired with the colors and textures of the Southwest. Influenced by Tucson’s international cycling community, Arlene shifted her fine art from canvas to fabric with the creation of her distinctive GoLOCO Jerseys line. “The jerseys are created art with the intention of beauty, but I still want anyone who wears one to feel strong and powerful,” Arlene says.
