Chicks don’t see GREEN on a QUALITY VENTURE with great GEAR in the dark!
Well, that was a cool ride last night! Not the weather mind you...it was hot! Good lessons were had by all on some key hot weather tips:
-Heat leaves the head to keep you cool! Thats why helmets have venting!
-Hydrate often. A few ounces every 15 minutes on the ride.
-Keep pre-ride meals to a minimum. Best to eat too little and have to snack on the ride than eat too much and lose your lunch.
-Dress for the existing temperature then take a layer off and pack it for the downhill home.
-Eliminate the 'stinkin thinkin' If you think you can or think you can't..you're right!
-Climbing in the heat can be a gruel. Remind yourself you are up for it, have done it before and what goes up comes down.
-When you think you are done, go six more feet, then six more, you are building fitness for the next ride when that hill will be an easier task to overcome.
Way fun downhill with some spooky bridge crossing and deep grass blind ride! You all handled it so well chicks. Nice to see your confidence build to take on the challenge.
