[Wherry, who tried a triple chainring last year and is going with a 27-tooth cassette on Sunday, said he tried a different approach in his training this year.] I've been training a lot in Colorado, and I've actually been riding a ton on the mountain bike, ... I've been climbing up the steepest things I could possibly find in Durango, which is not hard to do. It's good training because it's really hard on the arms.
