Training for Back to Back ride
Im sure this is out there somewhere, and I just couldnt find the thread.. .
I rode my first century last year, and managed what i think is a fairly respectable (but not amazingly fast) 16mph (15.99 average speed by chip, ~4000 ft of climbing). When it was over, I ate a LOT of food, and then wanted to ride some more.
This year, I'm considering riding the same event, but for two days back to back (Saturday Century, Sunday Medio(~70 miles)). You get a special jersey for managing it within supported ride time, and it just seems like a cool thing to accomplish. Any advice out there for surviving back to back rides..special nutrition planning, recovery tips?
