Well the work week is coming to a close today here in the middle east. The August Strava Gran Fondo is 150k. For most folks that is a nice ride. In Bahrain that is close to a death sentence. It is hot, humid, and hot. So the Missing Links has to start preparing a few weeks in advance. We look at all the atmospherics that come into play such as wind and humidity. Then we talk about our starting time, this time it will be quite early like 2-3 am. This helps with traffic patterns and the sun. After we process all of that we get a date and time set and begin our hydration and nutrition set up. Everyone has a plan that works for them. I run two bottles of gatorade, a 1.5L camelback, and 3 Stiger waffles with a banana. So riders dont eat at all. Anyways right now we are looking at the last friday of this month to knock out the challenge.
