RIDE FOR THREE HOURS AND 15 MINUTES AT A VARIED PACE ON HILLS AND FLATS: On long rides, it's hard to carry enough food and fluids. The solution: stop at convenience stores along the way and stock up. Good choices include fruit bars, cookies, and an energy drink like Gatorade or Cytomax. Fill your water bottles or hydration pack in the restroom. Don't forget to carry money in your seat bag!
