ON YER' BIKE

As one of the 84 competitors in this years Milk Race, you'll need to summon up all your energy and stamina to maintain 1st position over all 13 stages of the race which you must do in order to win. If you've been practising you shouldn't have too many problems; but if you've spent the winter playing computer games and letting your bike get rusty then you had better read our list of helpful pointers.

1. Cycling 1000 miles is no mean feat, so don't start off too quickly. If you overdo it you could end up suffering from exhaustion and be forced to retire from the race.
2. Use your gears to attain the most efficient use of your energy reserves depending on your speed, pedal rate and the gradient of the road.
3. Picking up milk from the side of the road will provide you with essential extra energy.
4. Potholes in the road, cars and other riders will hinder your progress, so watch out for them.
5. At random points during the race a time trial may be sprung on you. If you fail to complete that section of the race in the time you have been allotted you will be eliminated!
