1. What kind of bike do you ride?
2. Do you want to change clothes at work, or are you going to ride in your work clothes?
3. Are you going to take your lunch to work or do you purchase it on-site?
4. Do you have a place to store clothing, food, toiletries, etc. at work?
5. Is there anything that you might need to carry daily to/from work, like a laptop, tools, etc?
Hi, I don't know if you saw my other post, but, this is what I have,
1. Trek Madone
2. I wear uniforms that are at work already. I am thinking two pairs of bibs per day may be the way to go! Not a fan of bacteria! lol
3. Most of my food will be with me, or already at work.
4.Yes!
5 No
My main concern is nutrition! If I don't eat right, and ride at the right pace, over training is a sure thing!
Eating the day before, and the morning of, is a pretty much how I would prepare for any long ride. But now, in an 8 hr period, I have to recover, and load up.
I also take vitimans and supplements, but that is based on a once a day workout. Two a days are going to require a little extra!
Thanks, again for your, and anyone elses feedack!
