You are high enough that you're okay... I'm just a wimp!

Somebody on TE (sorry cant remember who) said it was best if going to a ride at altitude to get there either 3 weeks before to acclimatize or just before the ride before it has a chance to start really affecting you. Im sure someone here at TE knows more about this stuff but Im thinking three weeks before might be a bit much time for most of us to spare.
