Episode 391: Coach Ertl’s Training Tips for RAGBRAI LIII

Coach Ertl is back to talk to us about training for RAGBRAI LIII!

NOW is the time to start getting those training miles in so that you can be in your best shape to tackle the miles, and hills, of Iowa in July.

Coach says preparation is the key…training your body to sit on the saddle for long periods of time, testing out equipment and clothing, and of course dialing in your nutrition are just a few ways to get yourself prepared. And don’t forget to get your bike tuned up!
