Summary: If you’re thinking about racing Tour of the Battenkill this coming season, you’ll need to think about training soon (and registering soon: November 15th!) If you want to do more than just finish (or just suffer, as people overwhelmingly chose in a Facebook poll) then you’ll need to train a few specific things. It won’t be enough to go out and do 65 mile rides, you’ll need to focus on things like core stability, muscular endurance, cadence range, cadence control and VO2 max repeatability. In this podcast, I discuss why you need those facets of fitness in order to survive this: As always, comments are welcome.
