HELPFUL FYI

SADDLE AREA CARE

• One of the most important areas to take care of is your saddle area

• At the end of the day's ride, keep the saddle area clean using baby wipes or soap and a towel

• Use A+D Ointment or chamois butter while riding

• Stand up and dry out the chamois while riding

• Take chamois off to dry when possible

FOOD

• I plan on 100-200 calories every hour while riding in addition to regular meals. 

• I find it more enjoyable to go without a stove for trips (unless it is going to be very cold)

• Drink honey, maple syrup, olive oil for easy calories

WATER

• A squeeze filter like the Sawyer squeeze or Katadyn BeFree is pretty much all you need

• You could use Aquimira drops too, but your stomach might not be happy with prolonged usage
