You seem to fail to recognise the quote and as far as "how do I train for x" questions go, they are worse than my now generic answer because everyone has different time free, everyone has different aims for the same race, everyone responds differently to different amounts and types of training so the answer is really "do what works for you" and to find that out you need to try a whole lot of stuff.
Curious now though.
I might enter it in 2018 after spending 6 months doing ONLY commuting miles and see how I go.

Aks @bananaskid for training advice. :)

I know fine well where it comes from - it doesn't really matter. It's like posting that Lemond quote everytime someone asks about buying a new set of wheels.
It is meaningless advice to give to somebody without a little more context.
'Eat and sleep well'
'Try intervals'
'Use some sort of monitoring to log/measure efforts/improvements'
'If you're training for 1 hour hill climb then do a lot of 1 hr hill climbs'Those are all much more useful than 'ride your bike lol'

Yeah, but so is commuting 5k to work every morning, and that is mostly useless.
I think I see 'just ride your bike' too much when people are asking for actual detail and it is kind of bothering me.
