Lee Jenkins ENG “My tips and tricks for getting through the night on a bike!” #EnglishVersion
·35 min
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 mind Fear / vulnerability / concrete strategies to stay calm and keep moving Lighting: why headlamp + bike light are non-negotiable Fatigue & alertness: hallucinations, energy crashes, and the trap of sunrise Organization: the “game changer” musette, preparing warm gear, stop efficiency Nutrition: solid food vs gels, anticipating the last real eating opportunity before night Additional resources: our educational blog on raceacrossseries.com And to connect live: Race Across Series webinar every Thursday at 6:30 pm on Discord. Enjoy the episode — and above all, ride safe. 📍 Listen now to the full episode of Ultra Talk, available on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, Deezer, and on ultratalk-podcast.com. 🙌 Enjoyed this episode?
