Gets easier, yes. Building a check list to keep in your kit bag (laminated if poss) is a good call.
After a while its second nature, mind.
BIDONS! Don't forget your bidons (or water bottles if you are less previous about 'bikespeak').

Hahaha, well I am a Pirate, there are going to be MANY first times tomorrow
Bidons???? For a 25 km bikeride???? I take a half litre one filled with Taut, should do it... in total this is only going to be about 1hr20mins worth of exercise, I am a long distance fell runner... the body can handle it

Ahhhh, well I have a cartload of sense of humour with me, I always get accused of not taking things, especially myself and my racing, seriously I am going to have so much fun!!!! A day in the sun, riding the bike, running and enjoying myself with a bunch of friends, what more can one want???
YAY!!!
