It is very important to stay hydrated throughout the entire route, so include in your plan to drink water before and throughout the route, because once you are dehydrated, problems with fatigue, cramps, headaches, sleepiness, disorientation begin and once you are like this, it is almost It is impossible for them to recover in a short time and that could cause them not to finish the rally in a timely manner or make a mistake that could end in an accident.
We suggest that you always be on the move and not stop except to get fuel, a bathroom, some light food and when your body really needs a rest, since it is a long journey and the accumulation of lost time can lead you to despair at the end when you see that time is shortening and that there are many kilometers left to travel.
The key to lasting a long time on the motorcycle and not wasting time is to take advantage of any opportunity to stretch your legs and stimulate blood circulation when making obligatory stops at gas stations and traffic lights. This is done simply by standing up while on your motorcycle. , move your body and stretch every chance you have and don't feel the need to do so.
You have to push yourself not to waste time, but we should NEVER give up safety, so if you feel tired or sleepy, stop first.
