Tip 1: To help stay on top of your nutrition during rides and races, set a timer for 20–25 minutes on your ride computer or watch so you don’t forget to eat/drink! It helps a bunch to be reminded, then it just becomes habit.
Tip 2: Keep quick links for your chain and tire plugs taped to your handlebars or stem on all your bikes so you can easily get to them when the time comes!
