Bike Hike Tips

Hey guys,
in view of the upcoming recces, as well as for the benefit of any juniors/visitors who happen to stumble/stalk our lively blog, I've decided to share the tips that I just blogged about! With some contributions from Karl Chong =)

Karl's
1.Sleep at least an hour before the recee itself, if not you will really feel like sleeping (hwachong noooo) and risk yourself flying off your bike like what charlton did during comm recee a few weeks ago
2.SALT! I know that sodium isn't good for health, but bring along some isotonic drinks to prevent your legs from cramping up like mine and constantly need to stretch at everything traffic light that you stop at.
3.Out of the point but you need to be constantly high! It helps the whole group, being noisy and high helps to motivate others and keep them from falling asleep! Though don't shout that loud when you are in residential areas xD

And Mine!
-STAND UP when cycling upslopes! For once being more massive has its advantages! Press down with ALL your bodyweight on those pedals! They won't break...For me at least =P And it ain't that tiring~
-STAND UP when you spot bumps or uneven terrain. Doing so helps to alleviate the inevitable pain in the rear end that you'll experience at 8am in ECP as the result of the bike seat spending the greater part of the night bonding with your butt. Your feet are more adept at tanking jolts than your @$$. Well that's my opinion.
-Drink alot of water and isotonic drinks! In a 2:1 or 3:1 ratio. Replenishing salts helps to relieve cramps. So does frequent stretching, for that matter.
-Bring deep heat rub/muscle spray/muscle cream. The cooling menthol sensation WILL help to block out the lactate burning characteristic of upslope pushes. Sadly mine ran out somewhere along Stevens Rd.
-Talk cock/sing song, whatever works, just keep group morale high! Not only will it help to keep people awake, but when you're busy laughing/singing/shouting, you have a readymade distraction to take your mind off that sensation in your thighs/butt.

Till this Wed, PT for recce, BE THERE!
