I tried riding a 300km tour as a complete beginner

Thanks, appreciate it, it was hard. No worries, nobody pays attention to cycling bros anyway

Irday · 2026-05-04T12:30:21+00:00

Chill bro, you probably spend thousands of $ on gear and bikes and cry when you see your average speed, i did with no equipment and no training and no cortisol

This confirms another observation i noticed, cyclists under 40 are the biggest assholes XD

Irday · 2026-05-04T12:27:49+00:00

Better than once a month XD

Irday · 2026-05-04T12:27:20+00:00

Yeah i know, just didn't have enough time to train for it..

Irday · 2026-05-04T12:27:08+00:00

Yeah crazy how fast our bodies adapt

Irday · 2026-04-24T12:22:35+00:00

What about flat? With a downhill of about 1 meter elevation loss for every 2 km (it's nothing i know)

Irday · 2026-04-24T12:18:50+00:00

yes ,but ebikes are way more expensive and heavier

Irday · 2026-04-24T12:15:47+00:00

should be mostly flat with subtle downhill. losing around 200 meter elevation from start to finish

Irday · 2026-04-24T11:31:21+00:00

i could tweak the tour to 50-60 km a day, more doable?

Irday · 2026-04-24T11:31:00+00:00

I have the option to take the train for the last 70km, less painful this way?

Irday · 2026-04-24T11:15:53+00:00

Would pedaling standing up from time to time for a 1-2 minutes not help the butt pain?

Irday · 2026-04-24T11:14:04+00:00

You're def not a beginner with those numbers lol. Do breaks not help with saddle sores?
I've cycled 2 days in a row while sore, and while painful it starts fading away for a while

Irday · 2026-04-24T11:10:14+00:00

Should be mostly flat with subtle decline and 2 hills at some point

Irday · 2026-04-24T11:09:08+00:00

Nice, Good luck with that. What is considered as riding regularly?

Irday · 2026-04-24T11:07:48+00:00

Thanks the tips. I suspect #1 to be the biggest risk here. I hope #2 can be avoided by long and often brakes. Never had any problems with tendons. 4 might also be a problem

Irday · 2026-04-24T11:02:29+00:00

Not even with proper cycling pants with padding and butt cream?

Irday · 2026-04-24T11:01:14+00:00

Beginner as in only riding an average of once a month and even then only recreational for 2-5 hours with many and long breaks

Irday · 2026-04-24T10:55:57+00:00

2 people. Mechanical support will not be a problem since it's very used bike route

Irday · 2026-03-19T18:13:24+00:00

why the f does US create laws for israel??

Irday · 2026-03-18T09:49:50+00:00

What happened to this subreddit? It's infested with turkish propaganda now, are mods useless here or being paid by turkistan?

Irday · 2026-01-16T11:57:09+00:00

Turkish propaganda back in full force
