On sunday next week i am doing the biking leg of the wimbleball half iron man - 56 miles BUT 6k ft of climbing. I am feeling pretty good fitness wise and know their is nothing more i can do in the lead up, BUT i want to ride my bike this week. Am i being stupid? When would you rest from?
Easy spins all week, nothing too long. But I'd not stop riding altogether.
so hr or so a night with nothing much in the way of hills?
Good news - Im not sure it's as mental as you think...

Seem to suggest 940ish m of climbing - unless it's a different course - but in any case what njee said. Definitely ride.
