How do I train for my Backroads trip?

You’ll enjoy your trip most if you arrive with a base level of fitness. The best preparation is simple: spend time riding or walking—on both hills and flats—for a few hours at a stretch, ideally on back-to-back days. This helps your body get used to the rhythm of being active several days in a row.

Most importantly, choose activities you enjoy. The key is consistency—and wanting to get out there again the next day.
