RE: Cycling: What's your strategy for long-distance rides?

Hmm, what could I add?
...maybe splitting your ride into portions?
Even though I am very bad at keeping up my own good advice and mostly reach my goal by stubbornness😂 (and food and water!!) ...so I had the plan of riding 25km and have a break after each of those sections: 25km - breakfast, 50km - snack, 75km - midday break, 100km - be done (or different numbers if you want to do more km's), in that way you wouldn't over-exhaust yourself and have some breaks:)

Or baiting oneself with a well deserved Beer in the end also works😄 ...meanwhile that depends a bit on why and how you are cycling I guess😊

Hah the well deserved cold one. I avoid alcohol on training days, but cannot deny a cold beer, on a summer day, after cycling is superb.

A cold beer is great! But it can really kick in when you are tired.

Imagine the nasty dehydration 🤢
I prefer not drinking at all, other than some occasional wine
