Goal of the Ride
Winter Miles = Summer Smiles + Check Your-route-Exercise + Prepare Yourself Mentally + Long nightriding/sleeping
Base Miles during winter are important. And not only if you want to go 'long' during summer events/challenges/races/... You can use this ride to start your training towards summer with the weather as an extra challenge. Dress up, pace yourself, take an extra layer with you if you have doubts, don't let some rain stop you :-D
How do you find out if 1 stop is enough? Check the route for extra re-supply points if necessary. Cycling in the cold burns more energy + staying hydrated in cold weather can be challenging. Preparation is key!
Prepare yourself for to be mentally challenged by doubts, fatigue,... Visualize your goal, stay calm (by controlling your breathing) & remember why you registered for this amazing ride.
Do not think resting or sleeping is a waste of time. Being tired affects your performance and sleep is necessary for your body & mind to function. Although a long push through the night might be a box you want to tick off!
Good Cause
Your participation means a lot!
The organization donates € 1 per rider to 'Plan Boommarter'. Plan Boommarter is an initiative creating more nature (& future Arbre Magiques :-) ) in the area around Halle. Eventually connecting the Hallerbos with the Sonian Forest again.
