Go in around +20, you'll be a little fresh, but should be strong at the end.

Do short rides with hard efforts in the week before and days off or very easy 30min rides.
No medium rides. Just hard 15-60min efforts or super easy spins.

Thanks for that @skinny

I was thinking of a TSB more like +50, will 20ish be enough? I reckon each day will be a TSS of around 400.

I was gonna start to taper 7 - 8 days before, with a couple (or maybe even just one) short sharp turbo sessions over 3 or 4 days then around 3 days off the bike in total right beforehand. Last longer ride would be about 8 days out from the start.... sound about right?

Thanks dude

If I do as Skinny suggests I find my legs are reasonably rested but scratch the surface and I'm not fully fresh. I'd rather train really hard up to 2 weeks before then do a 2 week taper. I end up slightly detrained but fresher which is OK if it's an important event.
