Tips<br />
Tips<br />
• As a general rule, it may be a good idea to plan<br />
travelling around 10 km per hour including short<br />
breaks.<br />
• Never plan cycling stages that are so long that you<br />
don’t have time for unforeseen experiences en<br />
route.<br />
• Well-inflated tyres don’t puncture as easily.<br />
• Remember not to leave a trail behind you – show<br />
due consideration with respect to campfires, grazing<br />
animals and keeping dogs on a lead.<br />
• Bring an extra inner tube, repair kit, pump and<br />
spanner.<br />
• Pack saddlebags ra<strong>the</strong>r than a rucksack. A low<br />
centre of gravity is important.<br />
• Eat little and often, and drink water frequently.<br />
Ensure you have easy access to high-energy food<br />
(nuts, fruit).<br />
• Be prepared for fluctuating temperatures. It is better<br />
to wear several thin layers than one thick layer.<br />
Remember that cycling is at your own risk; have fun and wear a helmet!<br />
