Cycling Advice
Practical notes on food, resupply, difficult routes and sleep from AdvBase cyclists.
About this topic
The current archive treats advice as part of the ride itself: what to eat when the next shop is far away, how to read a difficult route, and when to make room for sleep. Shekhoo's responses connect simple foods such as peanuts and cheese with long blank sections, steep terrain and the decision to slow down when a ride still has room for enjoyment.
