Tapering for 2 big races 1 week apart.

I’ve never raced back to back weekends before. I’ve historically done well with a 10 day taper and scheduling races at least 2 weeks apart. I’m targeting 4 hour and 6 hour finishing times for races 1 & 2, respectively, and can’t really call either a priority race over the other. My concern is cutting too much volume ahead of race 1 will sacrifice too much fitness for race 2. Hoping some high volume riders can chime in with experience.

Finally committing to gravel.

Brad and his shop were great to work with - responsive and brought the stoke.
Some details:
Clearance for 58mm tires, 44T chainring
12x142, not boost
40/44 Reserves with DT 240s
FSA k-wing AGX bar
Still playing with the cockpit
Haven’t weighed it
It absolutely rips
