We're increasing a bit from last week. Again, keep the pace at RPE 3 except if you need to climb.

Try to get this ride a couple hours after breakfast in the morning. Figure out what feels good for pre-ride nutrition and hydration. Make notes in your log to refer back to later when preparing for race morning.
