  • So I just decided, perhaps somewhat late in the day, to do this.

    My plan is, since there's 4 weekends left before the dynamo, to get as much riding in as possible before that without running myself down. I'm thinking two long rides, at least 60 miles, and a few 30 milers in between. I'll probably be doing it geared since that should make things a bit easier? Or should i man up and do it fixed?

    Now, does this sound like a reasonable plan?

    You'll be fine with that amount of training. I did the DD for the first time last year, and did less training than you're planning and managed it in one piece.

    2-3 rides a week between 15-25 and then one longer one on the weekend between 40-60, so you should be more than fine.

    The route's reasonable flat which helps. (I did it geared.) SS next year!
