Day 54\ Some web trawling....

Now i have been trawling the net for some simple programmes and advice for training for 'Lapin' and the closest i can find is for a 'Century' - 100miles/160km - one programme courtesy of The maine cycling club puts the recomendations in of the previous plan in the shade but containing some good tips the other by Doug Katona has some excellent info for getting going, planing and also competing. Probably the best article is this one from Training4cyclists.com . Anyway stick the 3 together and i'd say it's a pretty good start.
