I am trying to train for a 230 mile bike ride. The ride will be in 50 days. Currently I can maintain a 16.5 mph pace over a 45 mile ride with 2000 feet of climbing.
The ride schedule is 90 miles on day 1 and 2 and 50 on the last day. We will be climbing about 5000 - 6000 feet per day.
Ideally I would like to be a little faster and obviously able to handle the distance. I have time to train. Any ideas on a training regimen? I would like to maximize the time spent on the bike. I also do not want to overtrain. I am trying to get back in to shape.
Any ideas would be appreciated.
