IT'S NOT ENOUGH TO JUST GET STARTED
WE ALL START SOMEWHERE. That's the good news, because without that we are just bystanders. Who wants that...
... when you could be riding?
But, it's even better if we can get started right.
I was reminded of that this morning reading a book. The author had laid out all the steps to perfection. Unfortunately...
... the first step's assumption and information was just plain wrong.
Like the ol' climbing the latter analogy, only to find it's on the wrong wall.
Here are 3 things that make a huge difference when starting out:
- A proper bike fit, from a pro.
- Adequate nutrition and hydration.
- A good fitting short, with an excellent pad.
- A friend to show you how to brake and corner
That last one is key...
... ya gotta have a friend, or hire a coach, to speed things along.
Wait, there's one more thing...
... be the friend who gets the next new rider started right.
Of course, proper hydration without a proper leakproof bottle isn't exactly proper.
I like the clear bottles for 2 big reasons:
First, you call see how much liquid is remaining.
Second, you know that your bottle is squeaky clean.
Third, these bottles ship free.
Use promo code BUYBOTTLES to get 2 free bottles when you purchase 2 bottles.
