Tips For A Long Ride

The Ulysses Club Road Safety Committee (UCRSC) compiled a list of tips which you may find useful (e.g. when planning your ride to the National Rally) - or for any long ride.


  • Stay Hydrated  - pack a bottle of water and have a drink at every stop – preferably water rather than sugary drinks.

  • Check your tyres before you leave, and each morning at least.

  • Take a puncture repair kit and you can never have too many cable ties!

  • Make sure you carry a spare key!!

  • Eat light, better to stay hungry than to lose focus -beware the after lunch nods.
