Lessons from Day 3

1) Hydrate Hydrate Hydrate - I've been drinking a ton of water on all my rides during the tour (approx 1 gallon of fluid while riding) and haven't had any cramps.

2) Don't set up your tent near the kids playground - they'll be screaming till it gets dark.

3) 8 hours of sleep minimum is a good amount each night. Well rested = good riding the next day.

4) Set out everything the night before - vitamins, morning protein drink, sunscreen, clothes for the day, shoes, gloves, etc... Anything you think you might need, make sure it's out and easily accessible.

5) Hang your bike light from overhead in your tent so you can find everything in the morning. It's going to be dark when you wake up.
