Gravel cycling is a relatively new cycling discipline, with the Union Cycliste Internationale (UCI) hosting their first World Championships in 2022. Gravel races combine features of road racing, cyclocross, and mountain biking, including terrain of varying technical difficulty, long distances, substantial elevation gain, obstacles, and limited opportunities to stop for in-race nutrition. This study assessed hydration responses to gravel races of three different distances.

Article Synopsis
  • - Tonsil Actisil FF, a type of commercial bentonitic clay, effectively helps create cycloveratrylene macrocycles and benzyl oligomers from benzyl alcohols when using microwave heating or infrared irradiation without any solvent.
  • - The outcome of the catalytic reaction varies based on the substituents on the aromatic ring; specific substitutions can lead to different oligomerization processes.
  • - Computational chemistry was utilized to develop a mechanistic pathway that explains how the linear oligomers are formed during the reaction.
