1. Get a single speed bike and ride it.
2. Develop a periodized training plan, follow it, and get a whole lot faster.
3. Be sure to include resistance training and stretching.
4. Ride the bike you plan to use during this event frequently.
5. If you have never ridden a single speed you need to determine what kind of gear you can push off road, in the sand and up hill for 100-miles. It is probably a lot smaller then you think. A 2:1 ratio is a very common.
6. This is an single speed endurance event. Be sure to train for 'single speed endurance'. Gears make you weak, but you can use them if you need to but…
7. Ride frequently. If you ride frequently then ride more frequently. If your partner has filled for divorce because all you do is ride, and you are using your vacation time to ride/race. Good job!
8. Learn to eat copious amounts of food on the bike. Most racers eat 50% of what they actually need during endurance events. Can you say BONK!

9. Learn to drink more then you ever thought possible. It is frequently 40+ at this event.
10. Do all of the MUTERO events in prep for this event. This, however is harder, and longer, and a lot more fun ;)
Bottome Line!
HTFUP! Seriously!
This is a document in progress. I will make changes from time-to-time as is required. It was listed in no particular order.
