I've been riding for a little less than 4 years now. I'm 59. I will be riding from San Francisco to Los Angeles in June -- for the second time -- to benefit AIDS research and education. Here is the simple training schedule they give us. At the end, you should be able to ride 60 - 100 miles a day over 7 days. It worked for me.
