Let's see, I have a ride coming up tomorrow.
I've downloaded the route from the ride website in RideW/GPS, converted it to a FIT file, uploaded that to my Garmin 1040. Meanwhile, my electronics are all plugged into my multi-port USB charging station - headlight, Varia radar, helmet tail light, GoPro battery, auxiliary battery for the GoPro, SRAM batteries, and my HRM. Phone goes on the charger tonight, along with my BT open earbuds (I only wear one) so I can get turn by turn voice commands along the route. I've already laid out my kit, found my shoes, helmet, gloves, and sunglasses. Water bottles are filled with Gatorade and in the refrigerator and energy bars are next to them (they don't need to be kept cold, but that way I won't forget them.)
If you ignore all that, tomorrow I'll mount all the electronics on the bike, pump up the tires to spec, get into my kit and head out the door - after the bathroom break.
I'm retired, so I don't need a stopwatch to time all this.
