| don't really address your question about exercise but they are valuable,
| nonetheless.  I followed their advice, particularly in terms of drinking
| lots of water and eating appropriately (for LD riding).  Also, I took the
| supplement MSM beginning a week before I started my 24/1000 ride and
| continued taking it during the ride.  There will be opinions, yes and no,
| about taking this so I suggest doing your own research (or the usual
"don't
| sue me caveat" of check with your doctor...).

| I rode with a water bladder so I could drink water steadily throughout the
| ride.  I felt no pain, very little stiffness, and was more than ready to
| begin the rally that followed my 24/1000 ride so something must have
worked
| for me, and my guess is that the water and eating patterns were the most
| important things.
|
| For exercise?  Ride a lot ahead of time!
