Ultra cyclists are athletes who participate in long-distance cycling events that exceed traditional race distances. These events can range from 100 miles to several thousand miles, often taking place over multiple days. Ultra cycling challenges the limits of endurance, requiring not only physical strength but also mental resilience. Many ultra cyclists compete in organized races, such as the Race Across America or the Transcontinental Race. These races often involve navigating diverse terrains and varying weather conditions. Participants must carefully plan their nutrition, hydration, and rest to maintain performance throughout the grueling journey.
