Training for ACT 8
ACT 8 is going to be challenging. That is probably part of the reason you registered. You will be on your bicycle four full days. Start bonding with your bicycle now and you'll have a better experience on the ride. You will be riding in southwestern Wisconsin, so you can be sure you will be riding hills during ACT 8.
Participate in the organized training rides. Ask the ride leader or other experienced cyclists any questions that you may have. There are no stupid questions!
> Check out the ride schedule.
Be safe; listen carefully when rules of the road and group riding techniques are explained. Be sure to ride hills, even in your early rides.
Have fun! Make friends that ride the same speed as you do. Exchange phone numbers so you can meet up on training rides. Having fun on the training rides will mean a more enriching riding experience, both while training and on ACT 8.
