<p>Hi Kicksters!</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I must say I have been busy reading everyone's race reports.  They are so exciting and inspirational!</p>
<p> </p>
<p>There does seem to be a common thread, especially in the HIM and IM reports...and that is hydration and fueling.  I can see this as being an area of concern for me, especially as I increase my distances. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>I am good to go with hydrating/fueling while running.  However, it's the bike that gets me every time.  How do you develop a hydration/fuel plan for the bike?  Is there a chart I can follow or is it trial and error?</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Thanks as always!</p>

<p>Thank you for all the great advice!  I have a 35-40 mile ride tomorrow.  Since I already know that I don't drink enough on rides, I will start with increasing frequency.  It is supposed to get into the 80s tomorrow so volume may be an issue as well.  Let the experiment begin!</p>
