With the holiday weekend coming up my family is going to be out of town so I've got an opportunity to do back to back 5 to 6 hour rides on Saturday and Sunday. I'm doing IM Chattanooga so this will be 21 days out from race day. Is this too close to the race date to receive any benefit from this? I know there is some debate about how long it takes to receive the benefits from a workout. I've seen some say as little as 10 days and some say 30 days. BTW--I plan on resting Monday (holiday) after these back to back rides.
Thanks
