What can be done to avoid fatigue during long rides?

Taking regular breaks, staying hydrated, and shifting your position frequently are key strategies for avoiding fatigue during long rides.

When riding for extended periods, maintaining focus and physical comfort can be challenging. Regular breaks allow your body to rest, reduce muscle tension, and refresh your mental alertness. Staying hydrated is crucial, as dehydration can lead to decreased concentration and increased fatigue. Finally, shifting your position helps to distribute pressure on your body more evenly, preventing stiffness and discomfort that can build up from being in one position for too long.

The other strategies may seem efficient in theory but can actually increase fatigue. Riding non-stop can lead to exhaustion and loss of focus, which is dangerous. Keeping the same riding position can cause stiffness and discomfort over time, while increasing speed to shorten the ride may put unnecessary strain on both the rider and the motorcycle, further contributing to fatigue and increasing the risk of accidents.
