Product Information

Make sure your brakes are working, whether you use rim brakes or disk, make sure they are clean and the pads are in good condition. I clean my brake bads and rims with isopropyl alcohol to make sure they operate at full stopping power without any grease or dirt contaminating the brake surface. Saddles get a bad reputation, many people that have a bad experience with saddle discomfort blame the saddle. In most cases, the issue is with the saddle position:

or more. It can sound like an impossible distance, especially if you’re new to long distance riding. So mentally break down your ride into sections. You’ve heard the expression, “nothing new on race day?”. Well that goes for your long ride fuelling too. An all-day adventure on the bike isn’t the time to be experimenting with new fuels and flavours (especially if you’re miles away from the nearest toilet). Composting requires specific conditions to allow these materials to break down. Sadly, only 1% of homes have a designated home compost & our current UK Waste system is not yet set up to handle compostable materials on mass. Attempts to send these materials to compost within food waste ends up with the wrappers being removed & burnt. But, let’s be honest, it is easier to swallow a gel texture then chewing when you’re running fast during a race and don’t want to slow down.Wider tyres with lower pressure are much more comfortable over long-distance, they are also proved to be faster when paired with a wider rim — aerodynamically and with a lower rolling resistance. I thought that I might have some trouble with the caffeine gels when I first tried them, but I don’t have a single issue to report! Putting them in with your plastic recycling isn’t an option either as biodegradable or compostable versions of plastic can’t be traditionally recycled/re-used precisely because of their ability to decompose. This is largely due to their formulation, with natural ingredients only and no artificial additives that can sometimes make your gut feel uneasy. According to McGregor, a recovery drink is ideal if you haven't got time to sit down for a meal. 'So if you’re coming in [from training] and you’re going to have breakfast or lunch within half an hour, it's not a problem,' she says.

To avoid overtraining, gradually build up your Saturday or Sunday ride by 20-30 minutes each time. These sessions aren’t about bagging Strava segments, so focus on riding easy and getting miles in your legs. Route planningI had such a positive experience with all the other Veloforte products I tried that it was the only brand I was willing to trust with gels, and I’m so glad I did. Taste and texture Gareth works to a simple principle: “If you’re hungry, it’s too late”. Make sure you’re properly fuelled with a carb-forward breakfast before you start, and keep regularly topping up during your ride to avoid the bonk down the line. When you’re going long, you’re going to get to know your bike pretty well. So it’s important that you work with your bike — choose efficient gear to save your legs.

Personally, I ride a 28mm tyre with a 30mm (externally) wide rim. Now you need to decide on how tough your tyres need to be. Generally speaking, a lightweight tyre will have lower rolling resistance and lower rotational weight. This is great if you’re on beautiful smooth roads all day, but if you are riding on heavy roads, gravel sectors or cobblestones, you will need a tougher tyre, otherwise you will lose time and patience fixing punctures all day. Long distance is all about efficiency. A clean, freshly lubricated drivetrain is far more efficient than a dirty one. Otherwise, you are wasting watts turning gritty gears. On the surface these materials seem to be a great solution, but it is very clear that material technology is moving far faster than current waste infra-structure in the UK. You need a lot of carbs. Sometimes it’s hard to keep eating, so don’t be afraid to drink your carbs too. Veloforte gels are gluten-free and made with 100% natural ingredients. They don’t contain any additives, preservatives, artificial sweeteners and other nasties that can sometimes cause an upset stomach. How many carbs per Veloforte gel?The key to long ride training is to build up your aerobic capacity and tolerance for heavy mileage. That means increasing your long, steady rides at the weekend. You should make sure to wear in your gear too. You don’t want any unexpected chafing from new clothes on the day of your long run. Find the best combo for you and make sure you practice riding in it. And don’t neglect the little things — like cutting your toenails. Exercise off the bike
