Matters needing attention

1. cycling underwear is not recommended (cycling pants are still ok, please distinguish clearly). Cycling underwear is soft enough, but it's too hot to breathe. I especially want to tear it off and throw it away when I use it.

2. Penetrating air-dried clothes. If the distance is long, the advantage is obvious. Wash it on the same day and dry it overnight.

3. The riding cushion can be used, which obviously improves the comfort, but it will still hurt after sitting for a long time (the original words of ordinary riders are that they are not afraid when training with tin drums). It doesn't matter how long they ride, it's better than nothing.

4. The height of the cushion must be moderate. Many leisure riders don't have proper cushion height. The appropriate height is that the legs can be straightened just enough to step on the pedal to the end, so cycling is the most labor-saving and the long-distance riding effect is obvious.

5. Look at the map, make a daily route and itinerary, and make a good daily itinerary according to various factors such as physical strength, speed, road conditions and weather of yourself and your teammates. Last time I rode a long distance, I didn't arrange a stop at noon, didn't have lunch directly, and didn't prepare enough dry food.

6. Prepare water and dry food before crossing the wilderness. Everyone who rides it knows. The best sports drink is water. People who are strong enough to get out of the chart should forget it. ) Dry food is small in size and high in calories.

7. You'd better prepare a raincoat. Sometimes it is impossible to travel in the rain for the trip (who wants to spend the night in the wilderness, don't you think).

8. Sit well. I have seen many cyclists sit in the wrong position, which is really bad for the ball ... Please ask Baidu for the specific riding posture. You may not know what I said here.

9. It's best to bring a pump, car repair tools and tire repair tools. When riding Qinghai Lake, the cyclist borrowed a pump and tire repair tools from us all the way and had a flat tire in the wild. No one cried blind.

10. Don't try to be brave, and fight for speed with others on the road. According to your own riding speed and rhythm, you will ruin your riding rhythm. You are not tired for a week and a half. Last time I climbed the altitude, I climbed 1000 meters in one day. Cyclists often pass by us smartly on the road (their road bikes are empty, and our mountain bikes are loaded with 50 kilograms each). Then we don't have any hormonal transcendence or anything. After riding in the back, they started pushing us, and we easily passed them.

1 1. Be safe. Long-distance cycling is inevitable. There are all kinds of emergencies, such as bad roads, wild mountains, dogs and big trucks. I'd rather ride slowly, safety first.
