What time are your races?
This makes sense for an afternoon crit, but road races usually start pretty early and involve a long drive to get there, usually leaving before 6AM, so I couldn't imagine waking up an additional 45 min to 1 hour earlier to go for a ride. But I like to get to the race start 2 hours before my race, giving me plenty of time to park, pick up my # etc. before starting my warm-up.
