yeah i was thinking the same thing it's already time to
get naked welcome back to spain welcome back to the videos today
it is very hot and we haven't even started our ride yet the zoolos are off we have just over
100ks to ride thousand meters of elevation and rest day tomorrow i'm so ready malaga here we come
there you go finally the limit to my gearing
my one by so did chris it wasn't 20 it was more than that they added steps to this so people
could walk up here that's like such a spanish thing it's putting those like that concrete
which is like bumpy you can't ride in it because you can't grip on it new max heart rate whatever
there must have been an easier way than that yes
maybe not more fun though scenic group yeah getting our steps in for the day hey
so we're doing all of the hilly stuff the start of today's route
it's um mega punchy actually uh we thought there were glitches in the like elevation track on the
ride but it turns out you know it was like 30 through the little roads where they build all
the villas but about halfway in it's all done and then we should have a nice smooth running
to malaga in the meantime though interval training what a cool place so this is so nice
can confirm 15 is okay on this gearing which is what i say 42-36 something like that
anything more like this becomes a bit of a problem ancient cave paintings
interesting piece of the route oh the gravel getting smaller this path chris
up eh
you got road shoes on mountain bike road just like you yeah
great might need to get some new cleats in malaga
hi chris nice easy run into malaga no wind at all [ __ ] off good break that's bad much better
sweetie
now into malaga i think we're in the suburbs now which is good
15k to go and luckily now it's all built up we're sort of sheltered from the wind which did get get
to the point where we were quite pissed off with it i was having flashbacks to australia
chris 50 mile an hour headwind i think we just have to remember that it's never going to be as
bad as australia it will never be well cycling in general will never be that bad ever again
that last bit through the city just went on and on and on i already don't like being in a city yeah i
would be there having said that malaga is a very nice city from what i can tell yeah that cycle
infrastructure was amazing it was like a hole instead of instead of having a bus lane like we
do in london we're in the uk you just have a lane which is just bike priority so you can ride tour
breast and there's another lane next to you where the cars go and everyone's just so chill so it's
very relaxing riding around here we've made it to the rest day very happy about that nice hair mate
that's a very strong look but i can't insult you because you're wearing one of my t-shirts
it's a very link down below if you want to buy one link here right here click my nipple what do you
think of malaga it's uh it's warm it's cool isn't it it's cool no it's not cause it's warm that's
about all i've got to say about it to be honest a bit [ __ ] up he's tired yeah he chooses the beat
let's go find some food food my left leg is somewhat burnt my right leg is not riddle me
this well it's because we've been riding the same way up the coast every day for the last
six days i have to think about it every time but tomorrow everything changes we go that way no we
don't do that tomorrow maybe it's that way oh yeah we do nothing tomorrow we're going to eat foods
how does it make any sense to end this video bike packing trick tip of the day and today's
one is about salt like this even if it is not that hot you will be most likely sweating when
you're riding a bike if you're sweating then you are losing electrolytes through your sweat
95 of what you lose through your sweat is sodium and this table salt is sodium so adding
more than you usually would of this to your food is going to go a long way to keep you hydrated
you're not going to be hydrated if you're just drinking water all the time this is your cheapest
option in our case it was free because i stole it from a restaurant the upgrade to that would be
something like this which is a bit more expensive but you can find in most supermarkets it's
kind of natural coconut water not to be confused with coconut milk you don't want to be drinking
coconut milk the benefit of drinking this over consuming this is that this has potassium in
as well but there's an even more premium option which is come over here i'll show you some fancy
[ __ ] okay so these will be the premium option these are sterka hydration electrolytes hydration
electrolytes and you put these in your bottle and mix them with water and inside here there's
magnesium calcium sodium and potassium so a full set of electrolytes just like that you'd get in
a little uh electrolyte tab but it's inside a packet let's do caffeine ones which is like crap
activity over 60 minutes or in hot condition it's important that electrolytes are used to hydrate
dehydration increases usage of muscle glycogen and decreases blood volume and digestive function
none of which are beneficial for injurious activity slt05 catchy caffeine plus also slt-05
helps replace the electrolytes loss of sweat water alone can cause bloating reducing the
desired string and fluids not being replaced properly basically when it's hot take salt yeah
in whatever form you can get hold on there you go interestingly enough um jimmy pointed this out to
me and i've never really noticed before if you are dehydrated and you've sweated a lot you'll notice
that you kind of crave salt your food won't taste as salty and that's your prompt to start putting
a little bit more salt on your food to rehydrate yourself and you'll end up feeling a lot better
um i've kind of stayed on top of this i've got a bit of a headache now though i've got something
to say about got a bit sunburned in there you can 100 overdo how much of this you put in water
from experience you just start throwing up nice yeah so don't like i would if if i can't get salt
anywhere like if i don't run out of tablets or if i would run out of whatever i think if i can't get
anything and this is anything i can find i'll put like a pinch in a bottle of water don't go
to ott on it because like one of those sachets will probably make you feel a bit [ __ ] if you
drink that in a bottle of water like if you're rinsing your mouth with salty water a bad tooth
and it doesn't you don't want to drink that can taste like [ __ ] alright i've been doing that
find a little saw tooth guys there you go i hope that tip was useful it is now
