Lee Jenkins ENG “My tips and tricks for getting through the night on a bike!” #EnglishVersion
Riding through the night in ultra-distance cycling isn’t “just” about continuing to pedal after sunset.
It’s a complete shift: perception, alertness, temperature, mental management… and sometimes fear.
In this episode, Lee Jenkins shares her experience without filters and the routines that truly make a difference: how she prepares for the transition into night riding, how she manages safety, cold, micro-sleeps, and how she avoids classic mistakes (nutrition, stops, equipment).
We discuss in particular:The day → night transition: what really changes in the body and the mindFear / vulnerability / concrete strategies to stay calm and keep movingLighting: why headlamp + bike light are non-negotiableFatigue & alertness: hallucinations, energy crashes, and the trap of sunriseOrganization: the “game changer” musette, preparing warm gear, stop efficiencyNutrition: solid food vs gels, anticipating the last real eating opportunity before nightAdditional resources: our educational blog on raceacrossseries.comAnd to connect live: Race Across Series webinar every Thursday at 6:30 pm on Discord.
Enjoy the episode — and above all, ride safe.
