I tend not to for a sprint but I do for longer races, hence the crazy amount of stuff people have bolted on their bikes!

Mrs Uu raced Dorney a few times bitd and never carried anything, with decent - not ultralight tyres it was a reasonable risk to take there. Biggest risk at Dorney always seemed to be bad riding from amped up complete nodders.
For half IMs in Ireland she had a micro pump, a couple of levers and a tube - you can pack it up quite small and shove it under the saddle, with co2 more so. Given that she has no real idea how to swap a tube even after nearly twenty five years of proper riding it was all a bit academic though!

@RabiCycle
thanks guys for the tips. I think ill look for a suit next week.
Last noob question... do you prepare for flats? if so what do you take? spare tube and a co2 inflator? imagine that the route around dorney lake is quite clean but still having to call it because of a flat sounds depressing.
