Although I'm a fitness rider, I couldn't get enough water so leading up to the 2011 tour I plan to do this before/after weigh in to gauge my water intake.

We have a range of riders with various riding abilities coming, so we should be able to manage everyone's early season fitness, or lack thereof.<br /><br />Most importantly <i>while</i> you ride is to eat, eat, eat, and drink. And start right away during the ride. That will make sure you have the best experience on the bike while riding 3 to 6 hours.<br /><br />Have a look at my archive of <a href="http://www.bicyclingblogger.com/search/label/Recovery%20Tips" rel="nofollow">Recovery Tips</a>. You should find a few ideas there to help you recover between rides. A camp like this is a little bit like stage racing, and I have a related tip in that archive.<br /><br />You'll be on your bike, so hopefully that simple fact will keep a smile on your face!Coach Kevinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12424333753858820944noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2437384678099080370.post-8533430905750808692010-03-25T13:06:52.160-06:002010-03-25T13:06:52.160-06:00Sounds like we're going to be putting on some ...Sounds like we're going to be putting on some quality miles, which is great. Are there options for the "need longer to recover" crowd? Unfortunately, I've only put in around 35-40 hours on the bike since the beginning of the year!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
