Bike Tour Guides - San Francisco

 

New to bike rides, bike tours or training rides?

Learn from your fellow cyclist (you will find they are eager to share their bike tour experiences and training rides knowledge).  Also, keep in mind one simple rule for bike rides: "Be Prepared."  San Francisco / Bay Area weather can change at anytime, flats strike unannounced, bike "pile ups" can happen, and "bonking cyclist" do appear.  Anticipate the worst, by doing such things as bringing a cell phone, proper cycling gear, proper nutrition, ibuprofen, money, and the tools to make basic cycling repairs.  That way . . ..  when "the shit hits the fan," it  will be minor.

During the first fifteen miles of a bike tour, one almost always feels fantastic .. . Yet it is the miles that come later in the ride that might not feel so great. So load yourself with lots of water, electrolytes, protein, and carbohydrates. 

Proper nutrition is the easiest way to avoid cramping, muscle soreness, headaches, dizziness and "bonking."  Also, take the time to get out of the saddle and stretch (do yoga). You may lose a little training ride time, but you'll avoid a lot of unnecessary soreness and injuries that could ultimately lead to a "parked bike ride."

Also, investigate the benefits of combining your training rides with other forms of exercise.  In cross training, two or more types of exercise are performed in one workout or used alternately in successive workouts. An endurance cyclist in training, for example, may also lift weights twice a week, perform daily iyengar yoga classes , and do high-intensity cycling sprints every Friday
