RIDE TIPS

Try and get a long ride (or two) around the 3hr+ mark in this weekend
It will take anywhere from 2:45 to 4:30hrs to complete this distance
Drink: 600ml/hr, so that’s a minimum of 2-3 bottles
Eat: 200-300 Calories/hr (800-1200 kJ/hr)
Replenish electrolytes lost in sweat through Gatorade, Enerzal or Electral
The human body can, in theory, go forever, so everyone can finish this distance, provided you fuel it right
A banana and a bottle of water is NOT going to cut it!
