Preparation to Not Give Up Halfway on Long-Distance Bicycle Rides
Checking Distance, Elevation Gain, Supplies, Punctures, and Return Plans Before Departure
This list organizes everything from checking the bicycle before departure to water and food, layering clothes, puncture response, navigation, and alternatives for getting home in a smooth flow. Simply loading up on supplies will make your bike heavier, so pack only what you can't find on the course. Establishing a time to turn back and a regrouping spot in advance can reduce the chances of entering darkness and exhaustion due to overly ambitious goals.

The day before departure, check your tires, brakes, chain, and the battery for your lights, and it's best not to test new parts or foods on race day. Prepare your course files, offline maps, and emergency contacts, and share your expected arrival time with family or friends. Documenting your actual time, the amount you consumed, and the equipment you used after your ride will help you make more precise plans for your next long-distance journey while reducing your load.

여기서 멈추기엔 아쉽잖아?
다음에 뭘 볼지 고민하는 시간이 제일 아까워.
주사위가 대신 골라줄게 — 무슨 리스트가 튀어나올지는 굴려봐야 알지.
