    Looks like a good list.

    Put it into a spreadsheet checklist and you can either print it for each event, or just mark them off on your laptop as you get ready. I don't check anything off until it's in the truck.

    Good luck.

    +1 on the key. If you have a spare key put in your truck.
    And don't forget your happy face :D

    Honda spray/ Windex (something to clean your visor)

    I personally like to travel with at least some cash. For that oops moment. I packed my wifes boots instead of mine once and was able to purchase somebody's "back up pair" that ended being better than mine and became by primaries.

    good call on both ends. I have a habit of never carrying cash since I have a visa branded bank card that is accepted nearly everywhere. except...well....by some dude. lol

    I prefer tennis shoes or at least good solid sandals with a heel strap for loading an unloading bikes. The last thing you need is a flip flop getting caught on something or falling off in the middle of loading or unloading your bike.

    i guess i kind of discounted that. I've got shoes on at work and i'll be leaving from work straight away.

    probably good item to make note of for the future.

    A spare is almost a "must". It is one thing no one else will have that you can borrow or buy if you lose the original...

    +1 on the cash. Gotta cover your gate fee.
