How to Ride Your Bike Long Distances

Things You'll Need

• Things you need:
• Water
• Small Back Pack
• Money
• Helmet
• Bike lock
• Sunscreen

Steps

Step Two

Eat a good breakfast. A long distance bike ride will require you to have energy stored up. Not eating before you go will diminish your speed and endurance.

Step Three

Bring water with you. Bring one 24 ounce bottle of water for every two hours you expect to be riding long distance on your bike. You will need this water to replenish the sweat that you create from riding a bike long distances and on a hot day you will be glad you brought more than one.

Step Four

Wear a small back pack. Pack in it the extra water. Put in a small amount of money in case you need it. Bring along a camera to take shots of nature or interesting events. Pack tissue in case your allergies act up. If you have allergies you may want to take medication before you leave for your long distance bike ride. You may want to include an extra tube for your bike in case your tire gets a flat.

Step Six

Spread sunscreen on any skin that is showing. Don’t forget to put it on your face as well. This is a must so you do not get burned.

Tips & Warnings

• • Make sure you have a lock for you bike. When you stop at a store you won’t have to worry about your bike being stolen.
• • Don’t forget to wear your helmet.
• • Riding in groups is fun but sometimes it is more serene when riding alone. You also can come and go when you want and not have to rely on others.
