Foldable Mountain Hike Bike Ready Go

All of these Durable Smooth Ride Race Bicycle are easy things to correct, and absolutely necessary to be properly prepared.  I pre-packed two tote bags with hydration mix, snacks, tubes, socks (in case it rains to have dryer feet), CO2, lube, and not pictured are some homemade bacon/bean/rice burritos for some easy to digest real food.  I also wore road shoes last year, and while I had no problems needing to get off and walk, my feet did swell in the heat, and the tight fit of a carbon soled road shoe does not have much, or any, room to expand.  I will be riding gravel shoes this year, with Ultra LightWeight Foldable Bicycle , which should also come in handy for the water crossings, which look like I might need to walk across, rather than ride.

I have been riding with Children Mountain Hike Bicycle both a power meter and a heart rate monitor (Ultra LightWeight Foldable Bicycle ) for the past year, and although the numbers I put out are far from braggable, I have a great grasp of what my own body is capable of doing and highly recommend any fellow cycling enthusiast to give these both a go.  For instance, last year at Unbound I averaged around 170 watts for 7 hours, so I have a good ballpark of where I should be on a long endurance effort.  The Whoop strap is a wearable wrist strap that monitors a bunch of performance metrics, as well as tracking your sleep, to predict your recovery every day.  I have not learned anything groundbreaking from wearing it, but it really has served to highlight negative behaviors, such as drinking too many beers, staying up late and not getting enough sleep.  No rocket science here, but seeing patterns emerge over time help me to plan for something as ridiculous as an all day gravel ride, like hydrate, sleep, eat hours before bedtime, and cut back on the Portable Foldable Mountain Bike .  I don't have a coach or a structured training plan, I just try to ride my bike as much as I can, and I also religiously track and record my progress on the social media app Strava.  Speaking of Strava, I have found that signing up for some of the monthly challenges make great training goals.  Riding the 100k challenge once a month, as well as trying to complete the monthly climbing challenge has really motivated me to ride just a bit further, and climb just a few more hills, which, for me anyway, seem to really help in gaining a bit more confidence and overall fitness for a big day.

Last year Mountain Hike Bike was a little bit lighter, and fitter, and faster, but I feel confident enough in where I am today that I am going to try and "race the sun", which means completing the race before sunset!  I am going to start less hard out of the gate, not skip an opportunity to refill my bottles, and drink and eat before I get hungry or thirsty.  And, well, just pedal, pedal, pedal, all the livelong day!  

Hopefully I see some of you out there in the Flint Hills, and best of luck to everyone racing, and my full race review/recap will drop next week!
