I love hill training and feel it makes me stronger for everything; in my case, I have a basic hill course filled with numerous big climbs, though not super long (25 miles) If you can climb a big hill, you can ride with anyone.

I'm fairly to cycling and I'd like to ride the Triple Bypass in Colorado this summer. It is a 120 mile ride with an elevation gain of 10000 feet. I live in a relatively flat area, so I have been wondering how to train for this ride. Thanks for the question and for the answer. The HRM is in the mail now and I have a better idea of how to use the small hills near my house. Thanks for the training tips.

Thank you very much. Also, to find some hills around my town, I use bikely.com. I'll be there too on July 2010 with some Quebecois folks. See you. This is a good advice it will help me.

More important is the rhythm, I will recommand you to buy a "rpm device". For example, 60 rpm will take too much effort to your muscle AND > 90 rpm will take too much effort to your heart. During the year try to climb at least one mountain. And climb one more the month or 2 months before the event, but no need to blow you up by climbing "too many" Good luck pour "l'étape du tour 2010" Like said before, a good training will be to find a hill near your home, and climb this hill many times.
