Really. Certainly no need to taper 2 weeks out then. I'd say do a ride of 60 miles and 3000' that last weekend. Then taper*.
Sunday: off
Monday: 1 hour with 4 90" all-out intervals, 90" on, 3.5' easy
Tuesday:45' with 3 90" all-out intervals, 90" om, 3.5' easy
Wednesday: 30' with 2 90" all-out intervals, 90" on, 3.5' easy
Thursday: 30' with 1 90" all-out interval
Friday: rest
If you can't do the taper intervals, skip that day, but if you're in decent shape and not over 70, you should be able to do them.
