Lesson three: The leprechaun's tips for rainy Ras survival.
On your next stage race or tour, Alan strongly recommends following these old school survival tips.
Sauso, brown bread and coffee for breakfast. (Paul also recommends Weetabix) |
It's not the price of your gloves. It's how well they keep the water out. (Brian bought Alan these highly technical non-Assos gardening gloves in a hardware store in Galway) |
Always take a short digestive walk after dinner. (A glass at Sean's Bar in Athlone, the oldest pub in Ireland, is optional) |
Shoe covers. Every day. Leg warmers too. Keep your pistons warm. |
As soon as you stop, change, stay warm and sleep as much as you can.A pro knows that wet clothes are deadly, and that a tour is won in bed. |
Always fully re-hydrate immediately after the stage. |
