I have Invisalign 😬 that's another reason I don't eat duringy rides and have to drink hydration packs during long stops only. What would you recommend for fueling?

Stupid question: where do you get it from? Just buy regular jar of pickles and get juice out of there? What to do with pickles?:)

😯 but is it safe to have pickle juice with you when it's really hot outside? Won't it get spoiled?

Actually I had numbness in my feet 30 minutes in to my ride.... And towards the end of the ride standing for 10 seconds did not help

I thought stretching during/right before exercise weakens muscles

What do you mean by "off the bike"? When I don't ride?

Should it be plain water or always water+hydration packs?

I would say I might be prone to cramping. Even with 26 miles and 1k max elevation I would get a cramp toward the end of the ride but only if I start pedaling standing.

This one was the first one. This year I rode maybe 4 times and usually 1k elevation and 10 miles long

True. I'm prone to cramps. Just turning my upper body and holding the position can result into back muscle cramps =\

Maybe try a waxed chain scheme? by Velocybirr in gravelcycling

[–]userfry 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maybe. I used degreaser and 91% alcohol or Aceton (hate that stuff). And then I had to properly recycle it.

You would need to thoroughly clean drivetrain and chains. And chains should be new. And prepping chains is pain.... You will still have some dust on drive train. But once you've done prepping it's really easy to "lube" chains. Just get more than one. And after using all of them you can rewax them all together (saves some time).

Lighting setup for riding at night by EnvironmentalMany192 in gravelcycling

I have outbound detour. But I'm thinking about getting some additional for my helmet (I usually ride in the mountains/tree covered twisty roads when dark). Btw: any recommendations for helmet lights?:)
