Tools and storage for racing

Hi there,
With my first attempt at a race fast approaching I was looking for some advice regarding where everyone keeps there inner tubes, levers, pumps etc during the race.
I am quite keen to avoid a backpack but not so sure about the whole saddle bag thing. My thought at the moment is to keep the bare minimum in my jersey pocket but a bit concerned about falling onto those.
What does everyone else do?
Many thanks in advance for any replies,
Rich

Much happier using a backpack and of course can get more kit in there if needed.

If you flat- just fix it there - riding with a flat is gonna cost so much more time than letting your wife fix it for you. :shock:
