      I have just started the 12 hour finisher plan and noticed that in Week 9 the day 7 ride is 8 hours. I was planning on doing a 6 hour race for fun that day. Should I do the 8 hour ride on day 7 in week 8 instead? Essentially just switching the long days of week 8 and 9?

      Thanks,

      Emily

      Emily,

      Do the race instead of the 8 hour ride. Do not do the 8 hour ride the week before your 6 hour race. Stick to the plan in week #8.
