Checklist for the Bull Raid 12 hours XC race

Today is the last day before we head off to Bellurgan to race this years Bull Raid 12 hours XC race. The training is done, but all the gear needs to be prepared also. I started to get the bits and pieces today but the most of the stuff is still ahead of me tomorrow morning. 

I will clean the bike and get a proper full service done to make sure it will work on the maximum all day long. Once the bike is done I get the rest of the gear ready and load the ThinkBike van. As a last step I will have to do some shopping to get all the drink and food for the weekend.
Accomodation:
tent, sleeping bags, folding chairs, cardboard sheets, blankets, beanbag, polifoam, airmatress,
Maintenance:
spare tyre, spare tubes, spare gear cables, toolbox, mobile workshop stand, shockpump, cable ties, quickseal puncture repair kit, CO2 refills, trackpump, small preassure washer, insulation tape, spare spokes, packing tape,
Clothing:

Other stuff:

The race is on Saturday but 'cause the start is at 7:30am we will travel there on Friday and stay over night. This way we will get to the start line nice and fresh and also have a little fun camping. :)

So after everything is ready we will leave Dublin at about 3-4pm and get there in time to set up our team camp and get all the registration done for the race. Can't wait! :)
