Tips To Prepare

• Start training to build up to your long ride slowly over a couple months. Base training involves steady, moderate cycling to train endurance. You should be able to talk while biking, and your heartbeat should reach about 60–70% of its maximum rate. 

• Watch your diet. Eat well-balanced meals that provide long-lasting fuel during your training period leading up to the ride. Include complex carbohydrates, lean protein, and some antioxidant-rich fruits. 

• If you’re bringing your own bike, make sure your bike is working properly and clean. 

• Practice great hydration leading up to your event, taking care to include electrolyte drinks. 

• Remember, training is stress, and in the short term it causes fatigue, which suppresses performance so take a break from training just before the ride to avoid fatigue. Over-intense workouts increase fatigue and wear out your muscles. Rest one or two days between training. If you only rest one day, choose a second day for light rides only.  

• Learn to ride with a group. Join a local bike group or invite friends to join you for the occasional training session. If you aren't used to biking in a group of bicyclists, you might cause an accident.

• It is strongly encouraged that you begin training to make this a more enjoyable and fulfilling experience for you.
