RIDE FOR ONE HOUR AT RPE 6 WITH A TWO- TO THREE-MILE TIME TRIAL: One way to increase the speed at which you can ride comfortably is to do training time trials. Find a two- to three-mile section of relatively flat road with little traffic and no stop signs or traffic lights. Mark a starting point and a turnaround so you use the same course each time. The total distance should be about three miles. An out-and-back format reduces the effects of wind. After a 15-minute warmup, start from a very slow roll, accelerate and ride to the turnaround at a hard pace of RPE 8-9. Look carefully behind for traffic, make a U-turn, and ride back to the start, maintaining your hard pace. Check your elapsed time and record it.
