Whether you are riding Cycle North Carolina for the first time or you are a weathered CNC Veteran, getting yourself - and especially your body - ready for the ride is really the key to making Cycle North Carolina an enjoyable experience.  Putting in plenty of miles of training is definitely important!  Especially back to back days.

Cycle North Carolina should NOT be your training, but a culmination of your training effort.  A major cause of injuries is a lack of training.  Located at the top of this page is an 8 Week Training Plan geared just for Cycle North Carolina.  Whether you choose to follow this completely or use it as a template for your training is up to you.  Either way, you will definitely see the benefits during the ride if you just take the time to train properly.
