I am sorry, but I was wondering why my posts were not showing up, and I did not realize I had to email to the address above.
Apologies

Currently I am training alone for this ride. I ride 40 miles a day and sometimes as much as 50 per day with one day off in the week. I make sure to hit some hard hills also. On Saturdays, I will do about 100 miles. Last Saturday I kicked it up a notch and did a 172 mile bike ride in 11 hours. I know that may seem slow to you, but my goal was just to make it in one day within a reasonable amount of time. When the time arrives to do the 215 miles in one day in July, I plan to do it in under 15 hours, considering it is going to be on some of Oregon's most grueling mountains. Am I doing too little to prepare, or too much? In order to do the 215 mile ride in July, should I make an attempt to do a ride of equal mileage before the July ride arrives?
Thank you
Lily

Ride early and often to prepare for a bike tour
If you're thinking of going on a bike tour this summer or have
already signed up for one, don't wait another day to start
training.
