This training plan created by Dutch Diesel cycling will get you ready for the Death Ride in Markleeville CA.
This training plan is power based where we target an amount training stress (TSS) on a weekly basis managed by volume and/or intensity. The plan starts with the first two weeks of preparation, which includes a week of structured testing to establish FTP and your power curve. This plan is using a combination of indoor structured workouts and outdoor event simulation and base mile rides. The structured workouts can of course be done outside also.
Growing up in the Netherlands, biking was an everyday activity for me. But it was not until moving to California and participating in a 2001 Team in Training charity event that my love for biking really started. After 4 years of racing in the NCNCA, I wanted to share my experience in helping the next generation of cyclists to meet their goals. Whether you need help planning workouts and analyzing your ride data or are looking for a structured training plan, Dutch Diesel Cycling can help.
