      Jure Klancar I'm the same way, but only on long boring all day rides. It's like using a metronome. Keeps me from speeding up and burning out too soon.

      I think that's typical for light riders.
      They can't produce enough torque when grinding uphill.
      On the other hand I'm 80kg and have muscular legs, anything over 90rpm is very uncomfortable for me.

    I did a solo, one day 200+ miler last year, I couldn't eat or drink enough it seemed, but everything went great. The last 20-30 miles were more mental than physical in my experience.

    One handy pacing trick that works for beginners to biking as well as endurance spins is to ride at a pace that allows you to talk comfortably. This video happens to be a great demonstration of this technique in action.

      Gustavo F regular bricks aren’t that huge just heavy, what you thinking of is cinderblocks that is big, also my touring panniers are 54 liters each bag for the rear ones. 35 liters for the front bags. 10 for the handlebar bag. Plus I can still put stuff on top of the rear rack and the front rack also had a little platform too

    As a kid we road between 6 and 8 hours a day, but with frequent breaks. At minimum one an hour for 10 minutes, normally for drink. If we covered 30 miles a day it was a long day, most was dirt trails doing kid stuff.

      This is great, I rarely hear from the actual site. There is that feeling of freedom when bicycling that is almost like gliding. The biofeed back from energy used to power output. Or as a kid, trasportation that is way too fun.

    Regarding hydration, in the arid parts of the US (and probably any hot place), one needs to drink before thirst hits. It's hard to gauge, but once thirsty on a 100F day, it becomes catch-up, and that's no fun. Also, for the love of Dog, wear light-colored gear on arid summer rides. Everyone wears this sleek black kit and cook in the sun.

    When to eat in the day is a personal thing. I like to intermittent fast, so I don't like to eat till 12pm, work hard all morning. Last meal around 8pm. Means I get a 16 hour fast every day. Works for me.

    Interesting comment about planning food in remote places. In UK if your route avoids major roads and even if it passes through villages it can easily be 50 miles between shops and even open pubs.
    Not in the South so much but in the Midlands and up.

    Feel like we are getting a told about the tortoise and the hare. Slow and steady wins the day! Sounds like my kind of riding... Cool video and I think that it just helps to reinforce that fact that you need to plan and be happy to break things up so that your riding is manageable. I am wondering if you would keep the same kind of riding time on a winter day as you would on a summer day with day length being longer?

    It amazes me the total disconnect between groups in cycling. Imagine you are not a lean mean riding machine who has no fat stores. A Clydesdale, or Middle age recreational rider with 20+ lbs that needs to burnt off. As one of the later I can ride all day with a midday stop for a bag of nuts on a breakfast of coffee and oatmeal. About 2 hours into a ride the fat burn turns on and energy increases. I think they call it going keto these days. So my self-contained tours has been my best weight control system for years.

      The San Francisco pass is at 4,726 m, and Agua Negra pass at 4,780m. Not crossing into Chile, but one of the highest passes Abra del Acay is at 4,972 m. There is also the Inca Divide in Peru and Ecuador, 8 passes over 4,000 m, riding 1,800 km with over 30,000 m of total climbing. The Andes are a completely different challenge.

      I have been at 5000m elevation... exercising there is hell because of lower oxygen content in the air. I have seen a few people break down and get severe altitude sickness.

    • @zoncolan7328
      @zoncolan7328 6 лет назад

      I have only been at 4000m elevation and to my surprise it wasn't that bad. But I had spent several days at 2500m, so I guess a proper acclimatisation is key to avoid altitude sickness. I am following an Australian guy (#CyclingAbout) who is bike touring in South America and recently got to 5815m!

    I ride/commute less than 50 miles per week but intend to increase and was wondering about getting a camelbak. It seems like it's more convenient than reaching down to access water bottles and you can keep your eyes on the road better. I see they are one of your sponsors but I rarely see somebody with one even when watching a ride/race. Is there a reason more riders don't use them or am I missing something?

    Josh,
    You can save energy is you don't rock so much on the bike.

    I was just riding all day yesterday here in Thailand with Flipflops on. Of course no sunscreen but, my left toe started to hurt in the end of the day. What is this about? Do you experience this as well? Any tips on preventing this? And btw the last 15k of my 100k ride where the hardest.

    Bike packing captures everything that is brilliant about cycling. Awesome videos on this guys, hopefully you'll find an excuse to do some more in the future; maybe test and compare some kit, focus on plotting the best route, race against the other gcn presenters?? Either way, that looked like an epic trip!

    I missed the part where they told us about the bicycles. If you are going to ride a bike all day excellent equipment is just under food and water in the list of must haves. I could see myself biking all day everyday. I just need to figure out where I want to go. Having a sponsor would be nice.

    I need your help. I have a Trek DS2 that I left home an I am currently living in Rome. Rome is not the best place for road bikes, however, a hybrid bike could be the best option. Being in Rome is thrilling as they have the best bikes. I always think of getting another hybrid bike that is lighter than what I have back home. However, I was searching your channel for the best hybrid bikes or a comparison but I couldn’t find one. I appreciate if you make a video just on hybrid bikes. If you have one already, then I appreciate you redirecting me to it. Thanks.

    I never have quite got to grips with this idea of pacing..... where's the fun ? I want the endorphins and the adrenaline from that feeling of flying. Giving everything. It's a wonderful feeling. Then BOOM ! The pain, the agony, the mental anguish .....oh the suffering, the glorious suffering ! Character building stuff.......then your flying again yay ! Endorphins ! !!!!!! Oh the pain .....oh the endorphins ......the pain ...the endorphins.
    Now that's an epic, memorable, fun filled, one to bore the grandkids ride !!!! A longer ride just means more of a roller coaster EPIC......Sepia epic.

    Cycling touring/bike packing is like paying off a house,each day you pay off a little. Then one day you have it all payed off. That`s the way I think about it on a long trip,if you think about the total distance that can really do your head in.
    Bike packing is like a quick version of cycle touring,good if your short on time and need to do the km`s. Your going to miss a lot of this crazy experiences by being on your bike all day.
