Thanks - been a great help! Race isn't till end-Oct so will keep up my endurance rides for now.

What sort of Kms do you suggest I should be doing for the endurance rides? Race is 200kms.

Thanks the reply. It is a race although amateur race so I'm no exactly competing with anyone other than a personal aim of 6h45 for 200km. Route is quite hilly, approx 2300m climbing with about 4 climbs at 8-9% that are anywhere between 1.5-3.5kms. Have done several races of up to 160km...

So most training plans say endurance rides need to be ridden in low heart rate or power zones. If training for a race, is this the general rule of thumb to keep up endurance and do high intensity training mid-week? I dont have a problem with 120-130km weekend rides but should I be smashing it...
