Train more for distance than climbing, though the latter is always good.
Excellent advice for this ride. As I recall there were only 2 or 3 climbs (I'd call them "moderate" or less).

There is a training ride series that a few women from TE did last year. I think they said that the last ride of the series was actually harder than the Cinderella.

Here's a link to a thread that discusses the training series.

If you're not up to riding 65 miles right now, this ride would be a good goal for you!
