      I am training for ORAMM in North Carolina.  It is 7/22/12.

      Which plans should I stack together, as it is 23 weeks out.

       

      I am a recreational rider, who rides 2-3 times a week for 90ish minutes

       

      ORAMM is 63 miles, 11,000 feet of climbing.

       

      Thanks!

      ORAMM is a great race. 23 weeks is lots of training time. With a little more info I can dial you in on exactly the right training plan stack for you.

      What are your goals for ORAMM? To finish comfortably or to race as fast as you can and push yourself hard start to finish?

      Gears or single speed?

      How close are you to your ideal racing weight?

      I want to finish comfortably.  I am a fit clydesdale and plan to run a geared bike.

      I recommend you start on 2/20/2012 with the Category 2 Sport Cross Country MTB Build, Peak and Race Training Plan. This is a 12 week plan. Chop it down to 10 weeks by missing out weeks #11 and 12

      On 4/30/12 start the 100 km Mountain Bike Race – Finisher Plan
