Riders In road races are practically
amateurs in the truest sense, being for
the most part young men who are en-
ployed during the day and have little
chance to pursue a regular course of
training They know that some pre-
paration is necessary and so they hur-
ry home from work, gulp down a meal
and then mount their wheels for hard
ride Such procedure is injurious. A
veteran trainer suggests better course
of training as follows: Rise early in
the morning, eat few oatmeal bis
cults, take a ride for three or four
miles, return and take a sponge down
with little cold water with some alco-
hol in il. If the weather Is not fit, a
brisk walk to business, If not over two
or three miles, is good Walking Will
do riders much good at all times.
"A young business man should, after
working hours, put on a change of
clothing, eat few crackers. but drink
nothing, and go out for a spin before
hearty supper. For the first week
do not attempt to go more than a three
minute clip for four miles or so. The
second week increase the distance to
five or six miles. 1t would be wise not
to go over this If possible the rider
should then be rubbed on a training
cot With a dry towel and liniment
used The portion of the body not be-
ing rubbed should not be exposed. Take
no more exercise for an hour later,
eating supper in the meantime"
1t is a mistake for the rider to think
that cold drinks are necessary to re-
lieve thirst. Very cold drinks, as a
rule, increase the feverlsh condition of
the mouth and stomach, and 80 create
thirst.
Experience shows 1t to be a fact that
hot drinks relieve the thirst and cool
of" the body of the rider when 1t is
in an abnormally-heated condition bet
ter than ice-cold drinks. II is far bet
ter and safer to avoid the use of drinks
below sixty degrees.
In fact, higher temperature is to be
preferred, and riders who are much
troubled with thirst will do well to try
the advantages to be derived from hot
drinks, instead of cold fluids to which
they have been accustomed.
Hot drinks also have the advantage
of aiding digestion, instead of causing
debility OF the stomach and bowels.
