Preparing for Long Rides
Book included with each UMCA membership.
Do you want to go beyond centuries to longer rides such as double centuries, brevets, 12- and 24-hour races, and multi-day events such as tours, Boston-Montreal-Boston and Paris-Brest-Paris. Preparing for Long Rides, the 44 page UMCA handbook, will help you to eliminate the show-stoppers that force you to stop before you reach your goal.
