I'm starting to think maybe I didn't pick the best goal.
Bologna. It's far too easy for the people who live in the hills to go do a ride like that. Well, "easy" is not the right word - but you know what I mean.
It's your job to show that flatlanders can go vertical too! I'm not a very experienced rider/trainer, but there has to be a way to build up your legs, to some degree, in a way that hills will - right?
I just pulled up the course site and took a quick look. 29,000 feet of climbing? Are you out of your mind? Forget what I said earlier. Kick back and ride the couch instead.
Kidding. Go for it. You can do it.
