Each three-week grand tour has at least two of them, but what are they? Dan Lloyd explains The Rest Day.


Would you ride on a rest day? or would you stay in bed? Let us know in the comments 👇

Riders activity varies on a rest-day. Some like to go out and stretch their legs or go for a coffee, between 1-2 hour ride. Other riders prefer to do nothing.

The following day for riders can be a toss up between feeling refreshed and regenerate or feeling depleted and having empty/dead legs.

People, give GCN a break. Beginner content is needed and it has to come out sometime. 2 years ago when I was new to cycling I could have used this stuff. Instead I had to ask questions that made me look stupid like what is a peloton? and Why do riders have rest days if its a race? If you don't like these shorties, watch any one of the other 3 videos that have been coming out everyday.

More ideas for GCN's consideration (no credit needed):
1) What's a chain on a bike for?
2) How to clip in
3) Why do cyclists try to avoid heavy traffic?
4) How to pump a tyre
5) How to check the weather before a ride?

Wow, could these get any more shorter and generic? I'm sorry GCN, I love you guys - but this is becoming painful to realize I've wasted my time over and over again.
