The schedule below provides a guide to training for a 24-mile event, such as the Providence Bridge Pedal. The schedule calls for one major ride weekly and adds 10 to 12 percent more mileage each week, tapering training just before the event. The first six weeks can be done concurrently with the conditioning phase of the program.
