How much training do I really need...?
Okay, so... last year I didn't ride much, and my conditioning suffered. I was still able to ride a 400 and a 1000 without terrible pain, but I felt slow.
This year is worse. Very little riding since March, though I did a 140 mile ride on my fixed gear last week.
But I'm signed up for the Iron Porcupine 1200. I'm not worried about a DNQ (there is no Q in this case), but I do want to enjoy the ride and finish more or less on schedule.
I don't have much time for "training" before then, so I need to do the bare minimum. No more, no less.
Any suggestions?
