Why no water bottle, Matty? Just using a camelback?

After you bonk do you walk home or ride back slowly?

Camelbak is sufficient for most of the ride, will refill it about 2/3 of the way. Might also buy a water bottle soon and put it in the cage.

I ain't bonking today, I planned my fueling carefully. I got 10 of those and 10 Clif bars:

Disgusting stuff 👌

This is the first century ride accompanied by forum posting breaks in the history of cycling.

I don’t know how you ride and stop and then keep riding etc.

When I stop my heart rate spikes and I start sweating even more than when I was while pedaling.

I really wish I didn’t have to cycle in the fucking swamp 8 months out of the year.

This riding in Canada thing looks so much more enjoyable.

Matty, enjoy the day pal. You’re really living.

Perfect day for this nonsense, right around 20C/70F. I stop every 10 miles for a gel and a sip and a piss. I'm not sweating much, so peeing non stop.

Southampton 👌

Awesome work Matty!

what's your pre, during, and post-ride stretching look like?

 

[Matty]

Had no cell signal at the 70mi mark



80 miles

I'm inside Tara (what's that first word there?!?)

 

[Matty]

Awesome work Matty!

what's your pre, during, and post-ride stretching look like?

I typically spin on the bike at a high cadence/very low pedal pressure. 90-100 crank revs per minute for 30-40 mins. Just putt around the hood.

I reckon I won't feel like doing that after 100 miles. I'll probably just do knee raises for the rest of the day. Tomorrow will be a quick and easy recovery ride.

90

Nothing interesting to see here, we're getting back to regular civilization

It's all about fueling boys

And spandex

What a fucking ride boys! Got home about 45 mins ago and I'm still on a high. This area is just stunning. Look at this shit:
