I'm off to Glentress in a couple of weeks and it'll be the highest number of consecutive days I've ridden by some some considerable margin. I'm wondering what people do in similar circumstances.
Eat.
A good breakfast. Take some trail snacks with you. Mid-day meal at the café if you wish. Decent evening meal. Beer.
No need to make it any more complicated than that.
^ and lots of fluids
Proper food, none of those bars, gels n stuff, I only ever do that if there's no option, but you'll never be very far from a cafe.
Yep. Longest I've done is 3 days on the trot. Did pretty much ate as Whitestone advised. No problems.
Only thing I also did was use some high5 tablets in my water as I find they help me stave off leg cramps during the night.
What's a good breakfast? The nearest Maccies is in Edinburgh...
Spoons in Peebles, eggs Benny or balmoral (haggis) and as much filter coffee as you can drink for under a fiver.
Not done it for a while, but I used to park up in main car park just at bus station, behind sainsbos, handy for spoons etc, and no worries parking overnight. I was always pretty careful though, no making it obvious.
Spoons? I'd rather starve than give that ****er a penny.
Cool, plenty other places in town. Better ask them all their political views first though, before you part with yer cash. 😄
Good idea, got a list?
Lasagne pies from Forsythes butcher in Peebles ftw.
They sound like a winner, any idea how they voted? 😉
Nope, such things don't bother this bear aul champ!.
Ramblers cafe does a good, not too big, not too small breakfast. Dunno how they vote but good food and good chat.

It’s Peebles so probably Tory!
multi-day as in touring/bikepacking, or back to back riding days?
