Hi,
I'm trying my first "long" cycle to my folks house soon, its approximately 62 odd miles with I think it was 1000m of ascent and another 1000m of descent - which is alot longer than my longest trip I've done so far, 20 miles in 2 10 mile legs. Thinking it will take my 4-6 hours depending on how well I do.
Can anyone offer any advice?
I'm unsure how much I should be eating and drinking. I'm going to have decent breakfast (porridge + jam) and maybe a banana or something half way through? - dont want to be in the situation where 2/3 the way through I completly run out of energy. I also have one of those 4L bladder things for water (sits in the bag and tube comes out) so drinkings easy, only need ~2L tops?
Cycling back the next day might be fun...
Thanks for any help,
Jon
