The event day is in late June
The SB 250 is a two-day supported charity ride from McAllen to San Antonio, Texas to raise money for Spina Bifida Texas. Day 1 starts in McAllen and ends in Freer, Texas (150 miles). Day 2 starts in Freer and ends in San Antonio, Texas (115 miles). There are multiple supported food/water stops along the course each day (~ every 20 miles). There are time cut-offs each day for rider safety.

This plan uses distance and Heart Rate Threshold to grade intensity so you do need a heart rate monitor to follow this plan. If you do not have a heart rate monitor there is an rate of percived exertion plan available. You can ride by feel and with a simple cycling computer to measure distance and speed.

Heart Rate zones and how to find your heart rate threshold is described in the first day of the plan.
This plan is for beginner to imtermediate riders who can currently comfortably ride 1 to 2 hours at 14- 16 miles per hour average speeds.
