Steve Dalway's cycle ride
Steve Dalway has recently completed an amazing bike ride between the US cities of Los Angeles and Boston, a distance of nearly 5,500 km. He and ten other cyclists took part in a trip organized by a company that provided a mechanic, planned the accommodation and route, and carried the cyclists' bags. Even with these, the ride involved a huge amount of effort.
Steve had already completed another long cycle ride in Europe. For example, he knew that on any ride, eating properly is important. When you don't eat enough, your ability to recover after hard exercise is reduced. For this reason, he always made sure he had a large breakfast before setting off every morning. The sight of the hotel at the end of the day was still very welcome, however!
One of the toughest times for the riders in the US was when the route climbed high into the Rocky Mountains. By the end of that part of the ride, Steve had climbed an amazing 28,000 m in total.
An early section of the ride, for instance, took the group of cyclists through the Mojave desert, where the high temperatures made them feel as if they were in an oven. In the desert, Steve had to drink four liters of liquid every 40 km in order to keep going.
The cyclists used paper maps and had electronic devices to record the distances they traveled. So that everyone knew what they'd be facing the next day, a big map was displayed every evening in the hotel where the group were staying. At first the cyclists were disappointed when the black line drawn on the map by the organizers only moved forward by small amounts, despite all the day's work. At the end of the ride, however, they felt very proud of what they'd achieved.
