Top 7 Tips For Your Best 100 Mile Mountain Bike Race

Presentation By MOUNTAIN BIKE RADAR

Do Your Homework

Read the entire race website to learn the logistics. Get the start location, day and time right. Learn about any surprises your goal race may have. The unexpected can trip you up, such as the race starts in the dark and a light is highly recommended or you can’t park at the start line

The Day Before

Create a calm, organized race morning by preparing everything you need for your race the day before. Fill your bottles and hydration packs, stock up and label your drop bags, lay out your clothing, pre-make your breakfast, and prepare your bike

Start Smart Finish Fast

The goal is to have a fairly even pace over the entire 100 miles. To pull this off you need to start at a speed that feels conservative, then increase your perceived exertion gradually as start-line excitement wears off and fatigue sets in

Get Gritty

Mile 60 is when you feel the fatigue accumulate and need to dig deeper to stay on target and achieve your goal. This is when it gets hard and separates out the tough athletes. Hundies are meant to be hard. As the famous author of Finding Flow, Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi says, “Flow experiences provide a flash of intense living against the background of everyday life.

Finish Proud

Start smelling the barn at mile 90 and go for it. Drop the hammer and pick up the pace. Chase everybody in front of you like a rabid dog
