what's a good distance to ride on the day before a race?
The day before a race

- Start date
Ahhh, too hard to answer. It really depends.
I like to ride at least 10 miles just to open up my legs and get the blood flowing. I've done as many as 18 miles.

It depends sometimes i have to much energy and i just have toi ride and i'll go to like 30km or 20miles and sometimes i'll be lasy and not bike at all so i get totally rested. I don't think it maters as long as you're full of energy and feel good and the starting line.
you should really base it on time. like for me i actually do intervals the day before an event just to open my legs up. what i really like to try and do is find a road crit the day before a race, do the crit and then go to the xc race the next day....just how my body is though
