Long-Distance Cycling

FAVORITES

I have my favorites, just like anybody else. Here is one of my favorite books: [The Complete Book of] Long-Distance Cycling!

So far I’ve never been able to try the mega-distance rides mentioned in this book; and even if I wanted to go for it, RAAM is quite beyond me!

But if you want to put in the training, Long-Distance Cycling offers practical advice: physically building up to long rides; mental aspects of mega-miles in the saddle; and nutrition for long rides. Maybe you could call it my Cycling Dream Book!

$11.66

My longest ride since my hand surgery was 22-23 miles. That’s half of what I was doing late last year; and I hope I can work back up to 40-mile rides soon. I must think more urgently about RAGBRAI 2024! That includes food; but will my favorites be adequate fuel for an average of ~65 miles per day, for seven days straight?

  1. Hey just wanted to give you a quick heads up and let you know a few of the pictures aren’t loading
    correctly. I’m not sure why but I think its a linking issue.
    I’ve tried it in two different internet browsers and both show the same results.

  2. I absolutely love your blog and find the majority of your post’s to be just what I’m looking for.
    Would you offer guest writers to write content to suit your needs?
    I wouldn’t mind publishing a post or elaborating on a number of the subjects you write regarding here.
    Again, awesome website!

  3. Hi! I understand this is sort of off-topic however I needed to ask.
    Does operating a well-established website such as yours require a massive
    amount work? I’m completely new to blogging but
    I do write in my journal everyday. I’d like to start
    a blog so I can share my experience and thoughts online.
    Please let me know if you have any ideas or
    tips for new aspiring blog owners. Appreciate it!

    1. Sorry to be so long in answering. I won’t pretend that building a website is easy. It does take time and work; and I’ve learned that a website is work in progress. It’s always evolving! I suggest starting with some kind of free site-building platform (I used Weebly). Choose a topic you know and enjoy. Good luck!

  4. I blog frequently and I truly thank you for your information. Your
    article has really peaked my interest. I will take a note of your website and keep checking
    for new details about once a week. I subscribed to your Feed as well.
