Hey David,
I remember just a few km's into an event, a rider I was descending with had a massive blowout. The explosion was so catastrophic as it ripped through his tyre and shredded its sidewall. There was nothing he or I could do about it. His ride was over only moments into it.
I found out later on that the morning of the event he decided to pump his tyres up to over 130psi, thinking that this was going to make a difference.
nfortunately, this "spare of the moment" decision was the one thing that ended his ride just minutes into it. All the time he had invested in his training and the money he spent getting to the event was wasted.
Over the years I've attended many events, both races, and recreational rides as a competitor and as a coach supporting my riders.
I've seen what can go wrong. In this article, I'll be discussing some of the critical things to address to ensure that when you get to the start line of your next event, you are set up to have the best success you can.
Preparing for recreational events and races are very similar, so many of the things I'll be discussing will apply to both.
