I have no idea what that is?
And yes - already on CTC under the same name, I think. Wouldn't exactly say experienced - Ireland was my first tour since 2003 when I was in MUCH better shape and rode my bike from London to Rome.
The hard thing about where I live is getting in miles - I live at 8,000 ft and no matter which way I go, its pretty much 1000+ ft of climbing in 8 miles. The Maroon Bells, Castle Creek, Independence Pass....all HUGE climbs. I can/will do Maroon Bells and Castle Creek, but thats maybe a 28 mile round trip that leaves me knackered from the 2 - 3000ft elevation gain (and doing so at altitude already makes it hard on the lungs). There is no such thing as FLAT out here, so training my body to get used to doing 30+miles in a day is the hard part.
Have done lots of research but with BikeRouteToaster down for a while, can't check out elevation gains yet.
