Pre-ride training

By mike | July 10, 2007

The Michigander begins Saturday and I’m ready. Always wonder before a long ride like this how I should train this last week.  Back when I was a runner, we always backed down the last few days.

Wonder if that makes sense with the Michigander? My route is to train as normal through Wednesday, get the bike tuned and cleaned and lubed on Wednesday, do an easy hour or so ramble in the saddle Thursday and then take Friday and Saturday off.

How about you other Michiganders? What’s your routine as we wait for the weekend?
