Day Trips

A distance of 40 to 50 km is an ideal plan that even a
beginner can easily finish.

Things to Lookout for During Day Trips
You can experience the pleasure of cycling by setting a shorter course and taking in scenic spots and points of interest in a leisurely manner rather than prioritizing a time schedule.
Fluid Intake	Decreased Attentiveness	Pace
When 1 or 2 hours have passed or you have sweat heavily from exertion or the heat of summer, you can prevent fatigue by drinking sports drinks containing the types of minerals you lose when sweating such as sodium. Minimize fatigue by taking in a little at a time the same amount of fluid as what you sweat away.	A build up of fatigue causes your attentiveness and concentration to suffer, making it easier to get into accidents such as spills and collisions.	Adjust the pace to the least physically fit individual, and increase the number of meeting places along the course to strike a balance with those having a faster pace. Maintaining a basic pace of 10 km/h enables you to ride with little fatigue.

Essential Gear for Day Trips
Personal Items	Bags	Day Pack
Change of cloths (underwear and socks) Towel Windbreaker and raingear Maps Portable toolkit Flat tire repair kit Camera First-aid kit Simple snacks for energy Helmet Gloves (fingerless in summer)	Using special front bags and saddle bags on your bike allows you to compactly carry all of your gear including a change of cloths, maps, and snacks.	When you have less gear, you can use a small day pack worn on the back, but this can cause sweat to collect on the back and can be uncomfortable if you end up with too much stuff. It can also reduce your freedom of motion.
