JasminesRace Questions answered IMO
Good luck Jasmine...I look forward to following your journey.
Questions, questions and more questions….Posting links is acceptable.
The first person to answer this list with meaningful answers will win something:
1. What bikes are good for women? The best bike is the one that fits you best, regardless of women’s specific or not. Some companies like BH, Orbea and Specialized have made women’s bikes because they have listened to the needs of women and have done an excellent job at providing a product that works, not just adding small parts to an ordinary frameset. Find a bike fit specialist and let them help you choose the best bike for your body and your goals.
2. What clothes to wear during the summer? UV protection is very important, so look for it in garments. Also for long distance riding think about active compression riding and after ride clothing. Look for breathability and lighter fabrics. Sometimes it’s counter intuitive but a lightweight breathable white jacket can act as a cooler. Be prepared for micro climates—where you can encounter cold spots or light rain...Layers and pieces that can be removed easily while riding are best. Personal preference for me: bib short and full zip jerseys; more comfortable and easy to remove for potty stops. Brands I love: Castelli, Giordano Team, Exte Ondo and Primal Wear.
3. Good helmets? KASK vertigo...the fit system on this helmet is like no other and the antibacterial properties are a nice bonus.
4. The best sports bra for busty women? Bras by Athleta, they have a bra for every women, every size, every activity.
5. What should I pack for a cross country bike trip (besides the obvious such as water)? It. Depends if it’s a “credit card” tour or a supported ride. Obvious first needs are tools/bike needs, supplements/nutritional plan and a great GPS. Leave the spouse or significant other at home, but bring your BFF who can handle your emotional needs as well as support the physical challenges of driving across country, etc.
6. Where do I put a suit case on a bike ride across America? Again, if you have a support vehicle ride light and put all in the vehicle; if self supported get the appropriate bike with a great pannier system.
7. How many calories does a person burn on a 3,000-mile bike ride? That is dependent on a number of things...however if you use the basics 450-500 an hour for female riding 100 miles a day in 6-7 hours then it would be 105,000 at top end.....this is just ride time burn, not after-burn or any usual just living calories....there are many things to consider, but that’s a generic.
8. Other essential must knows for the trip of a lifetime…if you want great advice contact Jo Allen of Think Pink Cycling Challenge...you can find or on Facebook or via CCSD on Twitter..Cycling Camp San Diego...she recently rode across America and Europe...She will be the greatest asset and she is super SWEET.
Lastly, it must be FUN, ride safe and enjoy the journey!

Update to this post....Bear's and Lynda's adventure starts this week...Please follow Bear's ride via gps and don't forget to donate:) Good luck Bear and Lynda, ride safe! xoxoxoxo
There are times, like this week, that I've been utterly amazed at the generousity and ambitions of fellow riders...
~~with that written I'm shamelessly sharing some information about friends who, probably they will kill me for doing this, but have supported cycling in a multitude of ways and continue to do so..... I have cut and pasted my friend Bear's (yes, that's his real name) goals and fundraising story below to share with all of you...it's going to be an amazing adventure to follow and a huge effort to raise monies for the Arthritis foundation. I am proud to ride with and support cyclists like Bear and Lynda and I hope you too will join them, on whatever level you can to support and encourage this effort.
Here is their inspiring story:
The cycling season is well under way, and once again I am aiming to raise funds for the Arthritis Foundation. This year I have big plans, as you’ll see below, so read on. This will be my 6th year on the California Coast Classic ride; it just doesn’t get old. I keep making new friends and meeting new folks who either have arthritis themselves or have a family member who does. A number of them have kids who suffer with a juvenile form of the disease. I can assure you, any donation, large or small, will be truly and deeply appreciated by all of the patients that the AF serves throughout the year.
From September 25 - October 2, I will again be riding in the CA Coast Classic, a 525 mile bike tour from SF to LA that raises funds for the Southern California Chapter of the Arthritis Foundation to support research, education and programs for the 46 million Americans that live with arthritis every day. If you would like to help, please go to my personal fundraising page, Bear's California Coast Classic Page, to make a tax-deductible donation. If you’d prefer to donate off-line, you can print out the PDF form from my VeloBear web pages (see signature below) to fill out and send in with your check or credit card information.
New for this year, from September 12 - September 17, I will also be riding in the inaugural People’s Coast Classic, a 363 mile bike tour from Astoria, Oregon to Brookings, Oregon that raises funds for the Northwest Chapter of the Arthritis Foundation to support their efforts in funding similar research, education and programs. If you would like to help, please go to my other fundraising page, Bear's People's Coast Classic Page to make a tax-deductible donation there, or use the PDF form.
BUT WAIT! THAT’S NOT ALL!Between these 2 rides, from September 18 - September 24, I will be riding in the first-ever Bear & Lynda’s Insane Coast Classic, a 439 mile bike tour from Brookings, OR to San Francisco that Lynda and I have plotted out connecting the two rides. Lynda will be driving the Team Support Vehicle as Directeur Sportif, Soingneur, and local tourist along the way. If you would like to help, please go to either Bear's People's Coast Classic Page –or- Bear's California Coast Classic Page to make a tax-deductible donation to either AF chapter. If I’ve reached my goal for one of the AF rides, please consider donating to the other! And if I’ve met my fund raising goals on both, don’t shy away from pushing me over the top! Any and all donations go to the Arthritis Foundation chapters. Lynda and I are sponsoring our own little undertaking ourselves.
So there you have it: September 12 – October 2. Another cycling Grand Tour just like the Giro d’Italia, Le Tour de France, and La Vuelta a España. Three weeks of riding 1,327 miles down the West Coast to raise funds for the Arthritis Foundation. I hope you’ll join us!
Yeah, I thought you'd be amazed....incredible and I look forward to following this journey...if you have questions for Bear or Lynda follow the links above to reach him or email me and I will put you in touch:)
All I can say is 1327 miles....wow, wow, wow!!!! Let's get this party started!
