Bikes: Lots

Not only am I planning to bring a fresh jersey and bike shorts for each ride, but I'm planning to bring all my polypro and wool, all my splash pants/wind pants, all my rain jackets, all my tights, leg warmers, arm warmers ... I'm packing it all! My plan is to have a whole, entirely different outfit for each ride, and two for the 600K.

I'm going to be looking for more rain gear at Canadian Tire this week ... I could use at least one more pair of gloves, and I want to see if they have waterproof socks. I might look at what else they have in rain jackets and pants too.

I had to DNF a 600K in 2005 because of hypothermia. I do NOT want to go through that again! It was horrible!

As for food ... what's "healthy eating"?? When I'm on a brevet or randonnee, I eat anything and everything!!

I have approx. two cases of Ensure ready to go ... they are for during the rides, but I might use one right after I finish each ride. I'll be experimenting with some new Whey powder protein stuff tomorrow to see how it goes down. If it works for me, I'll bring it too, and will have a packet of that after each ride. I probably won't go with both Ensure and the Whey, probably just one or the other.

I will be bringing various other things like ... a tin of almonds and/or cashews, beef jerky, cookies, granola bars, fruit, etc.

Then when I get in from my rides, I'll have my Ensure or Whey with some nuts and beef jerky, and go to bed. I'll eat a meal later in the day when things are open.
