1st Gran Fondo, Training Plan advice
Entered the Tour of Ayrshire Gran Fondo end of April, my 1st. 70 miles 4,000ft elevation. Need some advice on a training plan.
Entered the 45-49 age group 14-16 mph. Current average is 14 mph (hilly/rolling roads) would love to hit 15/16 mph. Anyone out their give some advice on a training structure, probably get out at the moment x1-2 per week with turbo sessions.

Good point. Although are they organised? Also fruitcakes have something to be said for them, even if they're a bit nutty.
