The Night Ride Strikes Back!

As the H2V team cruises home after an early morning ride, the thought of a night ride looms in the air. The night ride strikes back! That’s right, we are on double duty this week and loving every minute of it. It’s amazing to push at high speeds through town at night. Way less traffic and the warmth of the day still hangs in the air. The volunteers are training too, driving as the pace car and practicing for what lays ahead for all. It’s actually quite hard to drive with a group of riders right behind you. Especially when the group is keeping the pressure high and focused on the task at hand. Everyone needs to be paying attention and even with radio communication, all eyes up at all times!
Rest, recovery and fueling has become an art these days. We are constantly eating and requiring nutritious fuel to keep us going. Also eating while riding is an art. Only liquid food for the majority of the ride, bars and gels help out for that substance feeling that one needs during exercise. It seems complicated, but a little practice and it’s not that difficult.
The challenge has been set, we are working through the adversity and victory is right around the corner!Stay tuned for up and coming news and updates. This peleton isn’t slowing down!
