Training for a lowly 30 miler???

[Zen]

I'd like to add something a bit OT.

Get rid of that "lowly 30 miler" mindset. Don't be intimidated by other reports of epic rides. To me, a 30 mile ride is a good ride. Much more than that an it ceases to be enjoyable and begins to be an endurance test.

As for preparation, I don't think you'll have any problem.

+1, there's nothing "lowly" about it. And that's 30 miles more than most people ride
