    Sounds like you've gotten a lot of good advice. My only other thought is how you are eating the day before trying a long ride? You should be loading your body with the right foods. I'm not an expert on this, but DH is big on eating certain kinds of carbs and avoiding certain foods. Blames his friend's trouble getting through a bike race with what he ate the night before. You should do some research on it. Different things seem to work well for some people and not others, so keep that in mind. I, for one, would think a milkshake would not be the best choice to fuel your body efficiently, but research it and find out. I guess my point is, don't randomly choose something to eat when you really need the best fuel you can give your body to keep on keepin' on! Be purposeful with what you choose.

    Good luck!
