no, you wouldn't notice it unless you were right up on me and watching me when it happens. I am really weird about it. I won't ride the gap unless I have done it.

Clean my helmet, then clean my bike, then check tire pressure, then meditate for a little while. Remember to wear my jacket (every time I've wrecked I wasn't wearing my jacket). Then go to the gas station and fill up with 93 (or 100) octane. Buy a banana and a bottle of gatorade. The head to the meeting spot and eat my banana and drink my gatorade while waiting for everyone else to show up.

It's pretty much turned into a ritual. But this only applies to Sundays (aside from the jacket) and trackdays.
