I am looking for advise on what you guys do during your rides. I find that after I get cranked up I move into a pattern. Two pedal revs in and two out. I try to breath in through my nose and out of my mouth. However, I find that I have to take a gulp now and then. I also occasionally realize that I have drifted off and am not pattern breathing. When I road ride I am usually pushing for speed over a 20 mile distance.

What do you guys do / reccomend?
