mmm ive looked at some traind schedules and i think ive figured out what im going to do... im gonna start with this and step the milage up by 5 every week
mon-30
tues-15
wends-15- and hills
thurs-20
friday-15 and hills
sat & sun - rest
is this a good milage to start at? or should i do more? then step it by 5 miles every week

Hey there.

You should really be going for time and intensity instead of measuring training based on distance. I mean, I can ride for 3 hours and get 70 miles, or I can do the same ride and have it take 5 hours.

I half to agree with Heidi. I only have about an hour or so to ride a day during the week but I try to get my heart rate up to the desired zone and keep in there for the ride.
