Creatine Timing

Hey Folks,
I've been taking creatine on workout days pre-workout. My workout looks like this (rather simple).
35 min of cardio
10 min of rest
Lifting/weight exercises
My question is, at what point in the above is it most useful to ingest the creatine (I use powder in water) ?
Pre-cardio or during my 10 min rest?
Also, for times I take another dose post workout, is there an optimal time to take it after my workout?
I usually take either a protein shake or bar after lifting. Take the creatine with the protein?
Thanks,
PW

Take about 5 grams a day of the cheapest creatine you can find. That's it. Don't worry about anything else.0
