Q: What does your training regimen look like?
A: I try to ride 5+ days per week. Usually 20-40 miles per session. Some of the riding is power-meter driven. 2-3 of these rides are pre-dawn.

A: 5+ days per week.
Q: When did you begin training for RAAM 2015?

Q: How does training for RAAM differ from other bike rides you've done?
A: For RAAM I train for longer distances.
