Thank you

Preparing for my first ultra cycling, I found this very useful. Thanks!

[@EnduranceBikeandRun]

Thank you. I’m very pleased it helped you.

I would like to also mention a factor of weather. When it is raining in the evening and you see in weather app that it will rain all night it might be better to have longer sleep in a shelter or hotel. Next day you will be able to do more kilometers and it might be more effective then ride in heavy rain and have cold wet clothes and loose good spirit or even catch a cold.

Thank you, that’s a very good point. Being flexible with your plan is important.

100% a strong headwind can destroy your time especially on a bike (but even running)

[@syrus3k]

Yup stopping absolutely kills time.. finding ways to skip the breaks completely can save loads of time

[@zimmejoc]

Yup. Always keep moving. I always try to make my average speed and my average moving speed match. When I ride alone, there is usually a 0.1 mph difference between the two. I’ve gotten pretty good at always moving. I can rest when the ride is over.

Thanks, it's nice that your experiences are consistent with the numbers and my observations
