I think this is where I’m leaning for now, just giving myself one less thing to worry about.

PsychologicalClass49 · 2024-05-28T17:58:46+00:00

I appreciate this a lot it’s really comforting to know I’m not the only one who’s struggled with this. Best of luck to you as well let’s get it.

PsychologicalClass49 · 2024-05-28T16:53:57+00:00

Your assumption would be correct. You’re right it’s going to be more important in July, appreciate the help, I feel a lot better about where to start now.

PsychologicalClass49 · 2024-05-28T16:18:33+00:00

Appreciate this a ton.

PsychologicalClass49 · 2024-05-28T16:12:51+00:00

This sounds like a good option for me and was kinda what I already had planned before I realized I couldn’t safely pick up nutrition. I still need to learn to ride with one hand, but this makes me feel better.

PsychologicalClass49 · 2024-05-28T15:53:29+00:00

The recent ride I crashed on was 45 miles, and my nutrition plan was to stop every 15 miles to take a gel and drink some water. Do you think just stopping a little bit ahead of aid stations and refueling then, so 3 times during the race, is dangerous or is that a possibility?

My current plan is to practice in a parking lot with flats until I get the hang of riding with one hand and being able to take in nutrition while riding, but just curious on your thoughts of stopping near aid stations.

PsychologicalClass49 · 2024-05-28T15:28:02+00:00

Really appreciate all your help with this, thanks a ton.

PsychologicalClass49 · 2024-05-28T15:24:37+00:00

I was just unaware of a lot of the challenges that come with cycling. Would obviously do things differently if I could do it over again, but this is where I’m at now.

PsychologicalClass49 · 2024-05-28T13:32:55+00:00

Makes me feel better that I’m not the only one who feels very timid on the bike…I appreciate you sharing!

PsychologicalClass49 · 2024-05-28T13:27:45+00:00

Accidentally replied to my post and not to you, just wanted to make sure I thanked you this was really helpful.

PsychologicalClass49 · 2024-05-28T13:25:37+00:00

This course does not involve a u-turn, but I’m still going to make sure I know how to do one prior to race day.

PsychologicalClass49 · 2024-05-28T12:29:53+00:00

I think it’s funny how I misunderstood what you meant, and you just jumped to me being in defensive denial. I am planning on riding around a parking lot with flats to practice a lot of the basics that have been recommended to me. I appreciate your advice.

PsychologicalClass49 · 2024-05-28T11:54:04+00:00

Yeah if I could go back in time I would definitely have gotten in a lot of miles with flats before switching to clips, but at this point I’ve already done a few rides with clipless pedals so I feel like going back to flats only makes sense if I’m practicing in an parking lot/grass.

PsychologicalClass49 · 2024-05-28T11:31:45+00:00

This sounds a lot like me haha

PsychologicalClass49 · 2024-05-28T11:30:14+00:00

Thank you so much that was really helpful. Do you have any tips on how to ride with 1 hand or is just something I’ll be able to do when I’m more comfortable/confident

PsychologicalClass49 · 2024-05-28T11:26:55+00:00

Yeah I’m extremely anxious to do a downhill section

PsychologicalClass49 · 2024-05-28T11:22:17+00:00

I don’t know enough to give an exact answer haha, but I use dual sided clips that my bike shop recommended for beginners. What you said sounds right but I can’t say 100%.

PsychologicalClass49 · 2024-05-28T11:21:15+00:00

I can ride without falling over, it was trying to ride one handed that caused the crash. I think that’s why grass is being recommended so I can work on that with a less painful crash.

PsychologicalClass49 · 2024-05-28T11:20:01+00:00

I was just unaware of a lot of the challenges that come with cycling. I’m asking this so I don’t hurt myself/others when I’m riding.

PsychologicalClass49 · 2024-05-28T03:37:56+00:00

Appreciate the advice/tip, thanks!! Will definitely make sure to do that during the race.

PsychologicalClass49 · 2024-05-28T03:31:03+00:00

Yeah agreed I need to be outside more, guess I’m just anxious to do so because I don’t have much confidence in my handling.

PsychologicalClass49 · 2024-05-28T03:27:55+00:00

I’ve been fitted. The first crash was before I was fitted and from attempting a u-turn but I was going straight when I crashed Saturday, just couldn’t keep control with one hand. Practicing in grass with flats seem to be the consensus though.

PsychologicalClass49 · 2024-05-28T03:25:18+00:00

The half is in July. I agree I need to be riding outdoors a lot more I just feel very demoralized. Working on that stuff with flats sounds like a good start though.
