RACE PREPERATION

[charteris92]

Hi guys,

As well as being a keen cyclist and amateur competitor, I am also a junior designer. I am in the initial process of designing a RACE PREPERATION FACILITY, possibly in the form of a compact trailer.
Basically I am here for a bit of community input.
Any Road/Crit/TT/CX Racers out there could you please tell me what type of equipment you would typically use prior to a race for warm ups etc, what would be vital for you personally in the trailer, not just as a warm up station but also as a motive of transporting your equipment/bikes.
What feelings/emotions do you get or expect prior to a race, what type of atmosphere would bets suit your needs and generally any little rituals or needs you feel you require prior to the event.

Basically I’m getting away from the idea of leaning your rollers up against the van and having a quick spin.

Any ideas or inputs would be greatly appreciated, and if you can answer any of the questions that would be awesome!

Ideally, like this: http://www.cyclingnews.com/features/photos/tour-de-france-tech-inside-bmcs-team-bus/313780

Realistically... who's paying for it, me?

The hydration chart above the urinal is hysterical... yes, if your urine is black you should consult a doctor!

"What feelings/emotions do you get or expect prior to a race"

Inspiring fear and loathing.

"what type of atmosphere would bets suit your needs and generally any little rituals or needs you feel you require prior to the event."

Hookers and blow. Red crushed velour furniture and leopard print trim is a plus. Basically a Rock & Republic pb Maxum team bus would work.
