- don't be hungover, limit or eliminate wine & beer the night before

No way! My best races were the mornings after benders. The pain of a bike
race takes some of the edge off a hangover, and can usually cure it.

- 30 minutes before your race drink some strong coffee and a tasty
powerbar.

Actually, some strong coffee EVERY 30 minutes from waking up until your race
should be sufficient (see above). Caffeine is no longer on the banned list.

- have a nice little warm-up sweat going before the race start

Again, hangover takes care of that. Just getting changed is enough.

- get to the race at least an hour early

Unless the race is at 8 am and it's a 3 hour drive to get there.
