I have faithfully followed a training 12-week training plan for a sprint triathlon that I will do in 10 days. This will be my third sprint triathlon and second one this year so I am in decent shape for this sort of race. A friend has talked me into doing a half century bike ride race in exactly four weeks after the triathlon. I have a decent road bike, clip-in shoes and a good bike computer with cadence. I have time to put in several rides during the week and one long ride on the weekends. I also have a trainer for my bike that I can use at home. My longest bike ride on this bike has only been 20 miles with most rides averaging about 12 miles. However, I have never ridden to the point of exhaustion, I was just following the triathlon training plan.
Any advice for how I should train in the weeks between the triathlon and the half century? I can only find 8 or 12 week training plans starting from scratch. I am not out to set any time records, just finish the race and be able to drive myself home afterwards. I've already signed up and paid so there's no point in telling me I shouldn't do it - too late now
