Many riders have the belief that the bike does almost all the hard work.
New-generation electronics have increased the feeling that you can let your guard down, but it’s not exactly like that.
Too many take on long trips knowing their bike perfectly, but without knowing themselves and their level of mental and physical readiness.
It’s not a matter of gender, age, route type, or type of vehicle.
There are situations where physical effort and mental sharpness are required within just a few dozen meters.
Hoping the bike will keep us upright is a gamble.
Stress, haste, anxiety about being late or performance anxiety, road conditions, bad weather, little ability to plan breaks at the right time.
From here complicated situations arise.
The result is that “sooner or later” something goes wrong, with possibly irreversible consequences.
In all this there is a part of our body that “reads” our physical condition.
The heart.
Today there are electronic tools designed to monitor these situations of stress and reduced attention through heart-rate monitoring.
For this reason we have partnered with a leading company in the sector, which provided us with technology supports suited to our field: Two wheels.
And here is Cardio Tour, which combines special GPS tracks on Alpine roads with
group heart-rate monitoring via a sensor paired to the smartphone, comfortable to wear throughout the day.
For a few weeks now we’ve been collecting the first data, through a special software that is installed at the start of the tour and stays with the user even after the course, to repeat the experience in a self-directed and personal way.
We Ride Alps will put you at the center of attention for a long weekend.
We will help you reach important goals for your safety during a tour around the highest and most beautiful Alpine passes in Europe.
The aim is to raise awareness among those who live the passion for motorcycling about using heart-rate monitoring.
It could save your life.
We’ll explain it in detail during the course, try it to believe it.
Christian, Laura, Matteo and Federico, Tour leaders of We Ride Alps.
