"Last moment changes" and "leave plenty of time"... Remember the time in my very early cycling days, I adjusted my seat before a casual ride, meaning I had to take the saddle bag off for a bit . About30k into my ride got a flat. Bummer, but thankfully I had a spare tube and a gas canister in my saddle bag, only to realise that I never put it back on. No worries there, as I was going to call my wife to pick me up from wherever I was. Only to realise that I took my phone out of my pocket before leaving because I took a last minute wee. Thankfully in the next village I came across a couple on their garden, asked them if I could make the call to my wife. To my luck the husband was a cyclist, with all equipment. Helped me mend the flat and was on my way home. That was a really slow ride back home, but the man who helped me was a legend!
I have seen some of my friends come to a race and they totally forgot to charge their gears. Sometimes I forget to charge my phone and lights😂😂, adding other gadgets to charge will just be retrogressive on my end. Mechanical drivetrain for the win here
One particularly cold day, I wrapped up well and put on a couple of layers on my head to make sure I would be nice and warm. It was only when I got home, I realised I hadn’t put my helmet on!
One skull cap, one thermal skull cap and a neck fleece on top to stop the draughts. I did notice people looking at me and I assumed they were awestruck that I would ride on such a cold day. Instead of course they were thinking “idiot”.😂😂
Make sure to double check the weather of your ride and wear the correct amount of kit. I had rain on one hour into the ride when last night said it was clear.
Giving a satellite map a look and the predicted direction of cloud cover is also invaluable in my experience! With it, I’ve been able to squeeze in rides _right_ before rain hits my area, and felt better about writing off days where I can’t ride
I often drive my bike to where I'm riding, so I made a printed checklist that is taped to the wall where my bike sits. I also have a small basket to hold my essentials (helmet, shoes, etc.) and I keep a small bottle of sunscreen & chamois cream in there, too.
I have a pre-ride checklist and go through it every time. I use an NFC tag on my phone with the Tasker app, but a paper checklist would work just as well. There is another post-ride checklist as well.
I used to get back pain at about 33 miles into a TT, so the day before a 24 hour TT, I changed my handlebar position, to put more weight on my hands, and less on my back. Duhhhhh! After about six hours, my hands were just about paralyzed, so I abandoned.
The worst was when touring through Poland pre-wisdom of emptying my bowels before taking off in the morning. Had to stop after 30 minutes and take a dump on the edge of a farm field behind tiny trees bordering the highway, while everyone were waiting in an agitated manner.
At a recent sportive the queues were so long I skipped my last toilet break, for 30km I was keen to go but there was nowhere appropriate by the side of the road! Eventually an opportunity presented itself and the rest of the 115km went much much better!
Bathrooms? Just ask a Senior they know where all the bathrooms are. As for charging being a retried photographer I set up a charging station on my desk years ago, I bought a desk top unit that has three regular household plugs and three USB ports and I keep dedicated charging cords in a basket next to it. I also have a 10k mah power bank I can bring on longer rides ,it has a built in lightning cord on one side and a multi-tip plug cord on the other with micro and USB C so I can recharge my phone , my lights or even my Camera if I bring it along. I picked out a smaller power bank for bicycle trips don't really need the big 30k mah I used to carry in my camera bag, its small enough it will fit into Conor's Bar Bag no problems. Just a side note on Conor's Bike Bag the GCN crew gives him a hard time about it (Im sure all in fun) but the GCN crew is missing out on something, think of all the things he could carry for you so you don't have to carry that stuff. I used to do group motorcycle rides and there was one guy who never carried any tools or spares I asked him about it, he told me he didn't need to we all carried those items.
Wish I’d watched this before this weekend. Had Ride London on Sunday. Adjusted my saddle just before and broke the seat post clamp 🤦🏽♂️ Luckily at the 25 mile mark one of the mechanics managed a quick and handy back-nut hack that got me through the rest of the ride with no issues and a super-speedy time! 😅
Don’t have a big meal the night before. I only eat two slow release bars just before getting on the bike. Fuel on the bike. Sorted. I also don’t drink fir two hours before the ride. Well hydrated, well fuelled before getting on the bike but not bloated or needing the toilet. I 3 batteries for my bike rotate them every ride.
Used to give myself plenty of time before going. But it's become a thing for me to leave half an hour late when riding with my friends because I'm faster than them and we want to see at what point I will catch up. Plus one of them is almost certainly gonna be late, we just wait till he tells us he has reached a certain point, then we chase.
I also do pre-ride dynamic stretching and squat/calf raise warm ups. For me an easy 5-10 minute warmup followed by a few 10-30 second leg openers is necessary. Some of my best strava segment efforts have been after 60-90 minutes of medium efforts on the bike with some recovery. Maybe that’s just me though
@@dylanhunt5368 oh I only do the pre ride stuff right before my son goes down for a nap or before he gets picked up by his mom. Either way I’m right out the door when he leaves, just want to maximize the time squeeze between working and being a dad. But also doing those dynamic stretches kind of psychologically prepares me for a bike ride, it’s sort of like a ritual I have😛
@@MichaelIhde69 the dad part can lead to an indoor trainer. To me it's hard to ride much on one, even with the computer enhancements. But, even if you do only 15 miles, while you're still handy in case you're needed, is a big plus.
Falling off my bike at the end of the drive on my way out for a ride yesterday certainly ruined it for me. No idea how it happened but the wounds on my arms and legs mean I won't be going anywhere for at least a few days. :(
Not sure what to make of the advice not to eat too much from a guy who eats 500g of yoghurt in one go. 😂 Forgetting to reattach the seat bag after a bike wash is also a classic. The ride after is a constant fear of a puncture without spares and tools.
I'm addicted to Icelandic Provisions yogurt, tastes like a treat, way better tasting and more protein than greek, the peach+cloudberry I could eat several a day. I also add ~2servings fresh ground flaxseed, not enough to cause gut issues but keeps you satisfied a bit longer and good for you
Every time I put on my bibs within 2 minutes you can guarantee I have to make a porcelain deposit. So I have no worries about that issue. Also no way I’ll ever be able to afford electric gears so no problem there either.
In 20 years of cycling I have never come across somebody that ate too much and had a bad ride because of it. However, I witness the opposite almost weekly. People not eating enough to enjoy the ride. Under fueling is far worse than over fueling.
You can guarantee that if decided to take a 'nature break' in the middle of no-where, by the time I'm off the bike, bib shorts stretched, there will be a mini bus full of pensioners appearing from no-where, On one occasion a mini bus holding a ladies hockey team. They were quite rowdy :/ lol
Food. The night before a ride (or breakfast) is not the time to experiment with new food choices. Some of our GI tracts are more sensitive than others and who wants to begin a big ride stuck in the loo, or worse, racing around looking for one?
I remember that time, I really had to go to the bathroom, cause I had eaten a ton of oatmeal, cause I didn't want to eat on the ride. Then on the end of the climb my battery died, leaving me in lowest gear.
#askgcntech I have dented my vision team 35 sl rim brake rear wheel i dont know how it happened can I use DIY process and fix the dent or should I replace the rim?
I have made all these mistakes, and then some. I've learned that once I've laid everything out for the upcoming ride, walk away, relax, and get a good night's sleep while psyching yourself up for all the fun you're going to have on the ride! 🖖🙂
Low battery. I broke my GPS - it was 9 year old already - and I had to use my phone and my battery was going really low. I was on combination of bike and train and my train ticket was on my phone. I thought the train had an electric outlet so I could charge my phone. It did have an outlet, but there was no current in there. Luckily I made it.
I did three of them in one go, put on a borrowed bib and jersey it was too small for me, drank too much coffee while waiting for everyone to show up at the starting point which was a gas station which has plenty of coffee,, the tight bib put pressure on my bladder when I got into the drops and started getting some speed up, I had to go the bathroom more than usual and as a Senior on a blood pressure med which makes me go to bathroom not a good situation, lessons learned 😊 -Wear my own kit -drink only water and electrolytes. -go to the bathroom before.. PS before I got into walking and bicycling I was on six meds I'm now only on one and lost close to 100 lbs. Bicycling is not only a good way to get outside and go places it has helped my health a lot, I don't own a car ,I either walk or ride my bicycle to go places
I once changed my pedals to a completely different system, a week before Nationals. First event was a Criterium where you need to clip in quickly, in case the pack takes off like a shot.
Seems like a typically issue with most of the riders in my group. Lack of sleep, not eating breakfast, ate too much, not fully prepared, in a rush, and always forgetting something. Bad habits they can't seem to change no matter what I say haha.
Weather is a big one. Heck check ckeck. Cycling bits must be charged, giid call. Forgeting things is my down fall. Sometimes that works out for u though. Forgit helmet riad bike with griend back ti house to get it. New ride route.
For Unbound~Figure you will get twice the amount of punctures you think you will!!!!When you are in KC before or after the race get your BBQ at Q39. Yeah that is why mechanical shifting is superior.~5:03
"charge your kit" I'm always surprised that they haven't figured out a to charge your headunit, lights, gears, etc from a central source on your bike. Especially e-bikes.
Just be familiar with how your body handles food. Some people have a cast iron stomach and others have a more sensitive system. Don't make race day the first time trying some new
The number of times I've got on my bike before realising I'm still wearing trainers so had to let myself back into the house to get my SPD shoes is embarrassing. 😶
@@gcn my old bike (MTB) had toeclips and I prefer my feet being attached to the bike. I've only had my road bike for about 3 months so I'm still getting used to the SPD routine. I'll get there (eventually). 🙈

@@gcn HA, I was so excited to ride my new bike I just took off. Thankfully I had pants on, After a mile I turned around and went to put my shorts on HAHA
One mistake (that I keep making despite it never working out) is to offer advice to riding companions. I'm old and slow and thus don't have any credibility at all, but I know stuff even if I can't do stuff. Seems gently correcting someone when they're pumping up their tires all wrong !!! puts a bit of a damper on the mood heading out.

Try to control creatine supplements intake as they bloat your body full of water before you know it you have kilos water stored in the muscles! This will slow your cycling speed down!

Waiting for a power meter to attach to the toilet, let's make this a competition! (Coffee sprints)
Don't expect to enjoy a ride if you had 6 pints at a mates party the night before.
There is no such thing as too much Coffee before a ride... ask Dr bridgewood.
Charging your gears FFS! That's while I'll never have an electric groupset.
Yes. Prepare well. There are these cyclists who carry nothing yet they are not competing with a backup car.
solution for the toilet problem: a very strong espresso! 😉
It works right after bowels have taken some movement from pedaling!
Black coffee on an empty stomach while visualizing the toilet deed.
