Tools etc (kept in a Dolan track bag like the above eai one):
Chainrings, cogs, chain whip/lockring tool, 15mm wrench, Allen keys, mechanics gloves, Pitt stop, chainring bolt tool.
Clothes:
Race jersey (or skinsuit), race number, pins, gloves, long sleeved jersey, rain jacket, trainers (if i'm there for an all day thing), knee warmers, clear covers. BUG SPRAY (essential for Herne hill).
Plus a bunch of food and water etc.
I normally keep food and clothes in separate musette bags, then stick it all in my mission bag with the tools bag. Compartmentalisation is important - I'm not always thinking clearly between races and I just want to find things quickly.
My race wheels live at the track with my bike and I will just ride over with my rollers in my hand. If I were to go race anywhere else I would need a car and I would probably just chuck everything in holdall thing.
