Recovery Day!? Yes that's right the Missing Links took the morning off to prepare for the Strava Gran Fondo 130k ride. In Bahrain it is hot and humid. Typically you will consume at least 2L of water per hour. If you carry two bottles that means you stop every 45 min or so to refill. The gear for this ride will change as I will use a Camel Back, which I hate doing. If you want to put in distance and work on that endurance you have to carry my water. We also carry mix to add so we can keep those minerals and nutrients in the system. To give you a peek into the level of effort, the last long ride I took was 124K and a little over 5 hours. I burned over 6,000 calories. So all of this is super important. the average temp we will be looking at is 110F. This is how we train in Bahrain so when we finally make it out to the greener cycle lanes we will be comfy.
