Good advice on the undies, Blues. That is something I wouldn't have thought of, but is definitely going to make a difference for me.blues2cruise wrote:Wear the most comfortable supportive bra you can find. Also...long legged underwear or flat seamed regular undies....if you're riding all day, having the seams in the wrong place can be irritating. Long legged one won't ride up. (no pun intended)
Keep hydrated....it helps with cognition. On long days with hot temperatures, I use a water bladder specific backpack.....you can easily get the drinking tube under the chin bar of your helmet. The pack is not heavy and with only water in it, is light weight. I don't even notice it there.
