- You want hills? We got hills
To give you a yardstick, I did a fast paced Glossop to Llandudno ride in hot weather a couple of years ago. That's about 115 milesIts fast pace so quite a nice breeze . Funny enough we stop for fish and chips at the seaside and then smash it back only stopping for a pint at a pub . @130 miles in all
Now i'm really wondering why no one drinks fruit juice on a ride .
I drank 5 litres of fluid during the ride. A mixture of dilute orange squash that I took with me and then water refills at cafes and then anything I could buy in little shops along the way
If you're going to do a fast, long, hot ride you're going to need a lot of fluids
