Opt for plenty of food

Your physical and mental state depends on the food you take before or during a ride. An empty stomach will never escalate your speed but rather leave you tired. Thus, try to have some food every 45 minutes during your ride.

Sleeping is a miracle

Lack of sleep can lead you to a weird mindset, instigating you to stop your endeavors. Thus, if you feel exhausted even after food, opt for a sound sleep. Or if the time isn't suitable for rest, you can think about having a nap for only 10 minutes, which can work like a miracle.

No need to weigh your bike

Check for the tools of your bike and their functionality before starting any race. If you feel your bike is in perfect condition, then there’s no need to weigh your bike under any circumstance. Just pick up the essentials and start paddling.

Conducting research is a safe option

Research can give you ideas about the route and their conditions. Thus, if you are planning a more extended trip, always conduct comprehensive research and write it down, as it will help you understand your position and plan accordingly.

Take note of the necessaries

While moving forward, you will find plenty of things to be replaced by something else. Thus, when you get a resupply point, note everything and refill everything you need along the way.
