I am training for my first one as well. When I started, I was doing 15 mile rides and now I can do 65 by myself in very hilly terrain with no problem. I did a flat ride of 73 and that is my longest to date. I would increase my longest ride each week by 3-5 miles. Then I would set distance goals that were doable but challenging a month out. So, set yourself a goal for the first week of June that is much longer then you can do now. You can do it! Sept is forever away!
