The March 2011 Saturday Ladies Only bike ride Calendar

Good Morning Ladies

This is the last month of the Ladies physical year and the Last 5 rides will be very challenging.. Yes 5, For the Ladies that will be partaking in the MS 150 I recommend that you ride both saturday and sunday starting March 12th.. Why not this weekend? you ask.... because this weekend both rides will be 50+ miles of climbing, your legs will need a day to recover from each ride. I have arranged the rides were you will have a challenging ride backed by a flat ride or visa versa.

To prep for a 2 day ride: drink plenty of water all week and the day of each ride. eat a good dinner with a higher portion of carbs to protein.. If you can pack a chocolate milk as a recovery drink or some other form of recovery drink.. I like the MIX 1 drinks.... There will be a recovery drink in the sag on saturday. Take advantage of the support car if you find yourself feeling a bit out of it. Take advantage of the supplies in the sag car, it is there to give you the nutrition you will need to finish the ride.

Take a few min to stretch before and especially after the ride on each day. If you find your legs are getting stiff and sore take a warm epson salt bath.
