What kind of tapering would you do for this event?

*Assumes some training is undertaken

In 2016 I went sailing in Greece for 2 weeks, then back for only moderate rides the last couple of weeks.
Greece was probably a bit more of a taper than ideal, and with more beer than a coach would recommend, but it meant that after 2 weeks with no cycling I was keen to ride again when I got home.

I read this somewhere recently, ignore the science and make sure you are keen to get back on the bike after a bit of rest

Ha. I do 2 of my biggest weeks in those weeks.

For most people I’d say 1 easy ish week before is more than enough.
