    If you're not at least 90% prepared for it right now - 3 to 4 weeks won't be enough time. Be prepared for a back of the pack finish.

    Bicycling.com has TONS of free articles on training. http://www.bicycling.com/training-nutrition/traini...

    Do the race distance at a 70% race pace twice a week for the next two weeks. Mix in some shooter, harder rides and some longer endurance rides.

    Taper off the training a week prior to the race and stay off the bike for the last 3 day.

    Ride as much as you can taper off three days before the race.
