Subject: RE: Powerpuff Girls 2 - Double the Power, Double the Funblujay65 - 2009-04-22 8:12 AM I have a bike question for folks- especially for anyone who does over 40 milers. I can typically do 25-30 or so miles in a trip, I don't really call that a long ride, it's my regular training ride. I get in one short off the bike break, usually to pee and also just stretch, maybe munch on a treat. I typically get my nutrition and hydrate while riding.
When y'all get into longer rides, how often do you stop? I see people talking about 50 milers + and wonder are folks stopping once, twice, getting lunch? Are they quick stops, long rests?
So I am curious what is a long day ride is for you and how do you handle food, and how often do you stop (rests, breaks, to use the john?)
I want to start doing some longer rides when my school schedule clears up and just was wondering what folks did. It depends but I would say that I usually stop once or twice for a 55-60 miles ride. Normally to pee, and latelly with the tri bike I like to stretch my neck a bit. |
