Preparing for a Long-distance Cycling Journey: Tips and the Power of an LvBu Ebike Conversion Kit

Many friends have a passion for cycling. Indeed, cycling not only brings us physical fitness but also mental toughness and broadens our horizons. Today, let's talk about those things to prepare for long-distance cycling.

To prepare for a long-distance cycling trip , it is necessary to do a suitable long-distance cycling once a week. Through weekly cycling, our aerobic capacity and muscle endurance will definitely improve. However, this must be based on the correct grasp of the cycling rhythm and method.

We often see such a scene: shortly after departure or just arriving in the suburbs, everyone saw the road clear and suddenly had an impulse. They fiercely raced, either competing with each other or racing with the cars... If your planned distance is over 100 kilometers, the result is often like going out as a vigorous general, and coming back one by one exhausted... I don't know how to describe it. Then you fall asleep and still feel exhausted the next day.

If you cannot recover well the next day, you should carefully check your cycling process. I am afraid that your muscle tissue and other bodily functions have already been damaged, which means that this cycling trip not only failed to improve yourself but may have already hurt yourself.

In fact, training is about quality rather than quantity. If the training method is scientific, 10 kilometers of cycling is much more effective than 100 kilometers without any plan! I think if you want to improve your ability through long-distance cycling, please refer to the following points:

Cultivate the joy of long-distance cycling instead of fear.
The method is to ride comfortably. If you have a heart rate monitor, you should control your heart rate at about 70%, and it is best not to exceed 80%. Try to control yourself- don't dash, don't rush!!! If you don't have a heart rate monitor, you should control your speed at 26-28 kilometers per hour (I mean on flat roads).

There should be many people who have seen people who really ride long-distance usually ride slowly. In this type of cycling, "speed" is a supporting role because you must understand that long-distance cycling exercises aerobic capacity and your leg endurance. As the saying goes, "a journey of a thousand miles begins with one step," and this is basic training, the beginning of everything. Admire the scenery, learn to avoid fatigue during long-distance riding, and be good at adjusting physical strength with emotions. Gradually, you will love long-distance cycling and adapt to staying on the bike continuously for 4-5 hours.

Doubts about not being able to increase your speed during cycling.
You can do some interval sprint exercises at the end of this cycling trip, about ten kilometers or so left. Sprint every 3 to 5 minutes, once for a kilometer, and do three to five times. When it comes to sprinting, natural full efforts are needed. Observe your heart rate if you have a heart rate monitor, and remember to maintain a frequency of more than 100, preferably 120, no matter what gear ratio you use. The reason why I think high-intensity interval training is done at the end is that everyone can do the exercise without any psychological burden.

Learn to control yourself, which is very critical.
Wide roads and sparse crowds are easy to make people passionate, although 70% to 80% of people know this viewpoint, it is not something everyone can do. Learning to control yourself is the key to success!!!

Almost forgot: never start cycling on an empty stomach.
If you don't eat anything an hour before departure, even if a few kilometers away, replenishing energy bars like those used in the Tour de France during your cycling is in vain. Remember to drink some water every 15 minutes, don't wait until you are thirsty to drink!!

Don't forget surrounding.
You are very clear that every driver is a potential killer, and there are many unexpected dangerous situations.
