{ Today's Notes }

Hydrate before, during and after your bike ride in order to avoid dehydration. A great way to keep your beverages cool on a longer ride is to fill your water bottle with mostly ice and a little water. When your ice melts, you will have a refreshing cool drink.  Wear light colored clothing or clothing that wicks away sweat and don't forget your helmet- not only does it keep you safe, but it can protect against sunburn.
