Summary

What has two wheels and flies? You! After you properly prep your bike and dial in your setup for race day. On today's episode, coaches John Mayfield and Jeff Raines walk through all of the considerations for your bike's race day readiness. John and Jeff discuss rolling resistance for wheels, tires, and tubes; ensuring the function of bearings and brakes; and matching your gearing to the hills on your race course. They also offer suggestions for nutrition and hydration storage, reducing drivetrain friction, and 'must-have' items in your flat repair kit.
