Due to a health emergency in my family, I had to pull out at the last moment. I still plan to EARN my jersey. I plan on riding in about ten days, solo. What advices do y'all have for me?
Here's my advice from this weekend:
--Wear two pairs of bike shorts
--Make sure you have anti-chafe cream - and plenty of changes of clothes
--Make sure you're using a set-up that won't run out of battery
--Have a place that you can lie down next your bike during the 20-minute breaks - especially once the sun goes down. And set an alarm for five minutes before the next lap starts
--Have some pick-me-ups reserved for late in the ride, when the going gets tough. Like caffeine, or favorite songs, or favorite foods
--Oh, and don't go out too fast, but that probably goes without saying...
Good luck!
Cheers,
Ginger
