I might be able to get in a short ride the Saturday evening before the race. Any suggestions?
i was off the bike for a month this summer, due to a trip to asia for work. i did nothing to maintain my fitness. quite the opposite if truth be told.
three days after getting back i did a local hammer ride. the next day i raced. ymmv.
