I have only been able to ride a recumbent at the gym during the winter. I have my first organized ride of the season this Saturday 2/25/06. Any guesses as to how my performance will be? Its a Metric Century. Will I have advantages/disadvantages? I used the "hill program" on the bike and increased resistence as much as my body would let me.

My shedule I plan on following when the season gets into full swing will be like this; Monday Rest Tuesday Hard ride 20 miles Wednesday Light ride 10 to 20 miles Thursday Hard ride 20 miles Friday Rest Saturday Long ride 40 to 100 miles Sunday Recovery ride Monday Rest
What do you think? March 06 will complete my first year of biking. Suggestions welcome. Regards
better than doing nothing - but I'm going to guess unless you are riding a 'bent for your event, the training will not be specific enough to really feel strong on the bike.
I had a job to do in Cairo a few years ago, and all the hotel had was some recumbent exercise bikes, and treadmills. I wasn't leading the pack whe I returned home, and that was only 70 some odd days...
