I was just drawing up my training plan for the balance of the summer. Basically, I'm planning my weekend rides and I mostly let the week day rides be what I can fit around my schedule. I'm doing this now because I wanted to make sure that all my fun cycling events for this summer fit nicely enough into my training in order to complete the Six Gap Century at the end of September.

It all works out really well except for one weekend and perhaps someone here can offer advice/opinion about it?

On the 3rd weekend in September, I have my MS150 ride. I'll be doing a century on day one and then the 50 mile return trip on day 2 (it's actually 105 and 45...but you get the idea). The following weekend has no specific plans yet. And then the weekend after that is the Six Gap Century. What should I do in terms of riding for the interim weekend? Should I do a shorter hilly but not mountainous ride? Should I do a short mountain ride (less than 40 miles). Should I do a long flat-ish ride? Should I play it by ear (which honestly, makes me a little nervous...I'm a planner )

What do you all think would be the best plan of action? My goal is to complete the Six Gap Century with enough energy to enjoy dinner and the drive back to NC.

Thanks in advance!
