Hey all you bikers getting ready for Ragbria this year. I have some tips that I would like to share for a safe and healthy ride across Iowa.
When you see the Burma Shave signs this year, think of me. Those were my responsiblity from being on the Hospitatlity Planning Committee for this years Ragbrai. A few of my favs are at the bottom of the blog........
1. Stay hydrated. Stop frequently to refill your water bottle.
2. Stretch frequently. Everytime you stop to fill your water bottle, stretch your hamstrings and quadriceps. It is a must before starting the day and also at the end of the day.
3. Don' over heat. Take breaks to cool down, find shade.
4. Don't drink alcohol. That will increase your chances of dehydration.
5. Wear a helmet. You never know what may happen with 15,000 riders.
6. Eat balanced meals. You need to fuel your body with clean foods while enduring these long days.
Good things happen when rubber meets the rode
Ride it like you own it
Why I bike.....prozac alternative......just a sample you have to ride to Dubuque to see the rest
