I have registered to ride a 60 mile (100km) ride on April 3rd.
Although I am riding for for a couple of years the longest rides I do are a 35 miles loop with only 400 ft total vertical climb (takes me 2.5 hours net riding time).
The ride I have registered for is Tierra Bella Bicycle Tour (http://www.actc.org/tb/) described as:
100K (60.7 mi, 2065 ft) (http://www.actc.org/tb/route.html)
This flat to rolling route begins with a morning circuit around Uvas and Chesbro reservoirs, followed by a brisk mid-day climb to Gilroy Hot Springs. You'll round off the day with a descent down Canada Road and a tour through Gilroy to return to Gavilan College. Rest stops are about 24 miles apart.
I am 51 yrs old, weight 210lb (I'm a weight lifter), and in OK shape.. What would be the most officiant training program to ready my self for this ride (one month only)??
