Aim to drink one 750 ml bottle of water and/or sports drink every 1 to 1.5 hours.
If you're out there more than 2 hours, aim to eat 250 calories per hour.
If you want to ride longer without being stuck way out in the middle of nowhere, ride loops.
And cyclists have ridden more than 800 kms (500 miles) in a 24-hour period of time ... something to gradually build toward.
