Chamois Butter, or any of the other similar products out there, help to reduce chafing and can ease the discomfort of a long ride. A good pair of shorts are key on that front too.

Enjoy!

FYI, Gu, hammergel, cliff shots (when I said that before, I meant cliff blocks, they are more like gummy bears) are all gels that have lot of carbs/sugar to give you a boost of energy. Most endurance athletes use them during workouts or races. I wouldn’t use them on race day if you haven’t tried them before…but always good to try and incorporate into your training ;)…when you have time.
Again, have fun!

My hubby has done several MS150 bike rides and he always likes to eat a big pasta dinner the night before. Good luck!

I’ve heard its two nights before the race that really counts in terms of sleep/rest and eating. Having done my first two century rides this summer (LIVESTRONG Philly/Elephant Rock), my advice is get chamois butter and use lots of it, take advantage of the rest stops and the food/drink they have, GU or gels are easy to use while riding, and most importantly, have fun and enjoy what will be an amazing experience!

Congrats you two…this will be a fun adventure. I’ve done a couple of long bike rides (I did a half Iron Man triathlon with TEAM IN TRAINING) and our coach always taught us to ‘do something’ every 15 min. So, drink water, (gatorade is tough on the tummy…too much sugar, try NUUN instead) or eat something. Roasted almonds are good (esp. flavored ones), power bars (cut up first…hard to do while riding) or cliff shots are fun too (like gummy bears). I hope you have a great ride and a fun camping trip afterwards. I’d love to come help shoot, but already commited to help work the wedding show with Michael.
Cheers and go team MeRa Koh photography!
