Subject: Tapering question....
I've put in good work for the LiveSTRONG Challenge this year (ride is Sunday). What should my taper look like this week? Also, would a massage this week do any good before the event?

Any thoughts or ideas would be very much appreciated.

Note: Logs are up to date, if that makes a difference.

Bump...just because I can't believe no one has any opinion or idea whatsoever.

I'm not sure how long the Challenge is but I would rest 2 days before the event and then do a light workout (15 minutes or so) the day before to make sure everything is alright with your bike.  I'm not sure that you need to do more than that.  If you want, you could follow your regular training but cut back on the volume while keeping the intensity.
