Hi, never done any big rides like the Fred before, but have been training (lots of long hilly rides!) to try and get a respectable time.

Anyway, its 3 weeks away, whats the opinion on easing off on rides upto the event? Should i just keep doing a long ride each weekend (long meaining 90-100miles,i generally go out for an easy mountain bike ride one or two evening as well). Was planning on one more big ride next weekend then ease off a bit (just doing 40-50 miles stuff), or does it make sod all difference?!

Thanks

    Sounds like you have a good plan! You know you can ride the whole distance, so no point doing it every week. Easier rides leading up to the event (final 2 weeks) should mean you arrive on the start line ready to go!
