Bike ride blues?

Hiya. I'm doing a 55mile bike ride in the summer so a bit longer to prepare, but still a little worried. I have been doing some reading up on training for such events. I would recommend looking on some cycling websites as they might be able to help. But, from what I have read, getting out on your bike in all weather and up hills is good practice. Also, working up to at least one session of over your target during the week before your actual ride but do little in the few days before your charity ride. Aim to built up the miles you do on each outing. Also, a little bit of resistance training can be beneficial to strengthen the leg muscles, leg presses at a gym or lunges etc (health and fitness websites should be able to tell you how to do this if you've not done them before). Another good tip is to make sure you stretch and warm up well before you go on a long ride. I hope this helps, I am new to cycling but love it. Good luck with your ride for the BHF. Take care.
