How to prepare for a cycling race
Make sure you are physically conditioned to compete in the level of race you are registered for.
If you've been out of cycling practice for a while, don't go on that 70 mile (110 km) tour.
Make sure your bike is properly maintained.

(a). If your bike is broken up, do not ride for it. If your bike is worn, worn underwire, or has a break, it could lead to serious injury and will prevent you from reaching the starting line.

(d). Lastly, make sure there are no dangerous lumps or bumps that may tip it over. Always check one before you go out on the road.
