Im getting very comfortable on the 36” wheel! I just did 8 miles in 1 hour and 11 mins and I’m pretty tired. My average speed was 7 miles/hour so for an imperial century it will take me a very long time. How should I continue to train long distance and increase my average speed?
Also, as a safety measure, if I can’t increase my average speed I will start the ride way earlier than all the bicyclists (probably 1 or 2 am). They start at around 6 or 7 am, and the event runs until about 6 pm (18:00).
The event is in early September, so I have over 2 more months to keep training. Where should I go? What should I do?
Thank you!
Bill
