Hi! I see this year's event is currently underway. Next year, it will take place between June 7th and 14th. We'll make sure to add it in advance, as we always update our events well ahead of time.
In the meantime, I recommend selecting another training goal that suits you. You can use the goal selector by clicking the orange button labeled "Which goal for you?"
Let me know if you need help picking one!

Current goal is FTP improvement. Availability per week is 5×2 hrs and 2×3 hrs. I found the option to define your own event that allows you to enter start date, duration, distance and elevation.
I am now in doubt which plan to follow. I am also in doubt on my 2hrs/day availability (I can do more). Will this be enough to deal with the 8-10 hrs/day during The Ride?
Any advice on this would be great.
Best regards
Peter

Since your event is still a year away, I’d recommend starting with one of our Build or Improve plans. These plans are designed to last around 3 months, so you can complete multiple cycles before your big event. If possible, consider scheduling a smaller event later this year to have an intermediate goal to train toward; it can really help with motivation and focus.
For The Ride, you’ll need strong endurance and the ability to sustain long climbs. That’s why I suggest choosing the ‘FTP Builder’ (which your already on, so great!) and ‘Improve Long Climbs’ plans as part of your training journey.
You can always update your availability in the app, and your plan will adjust automatically. For an endurance event like The Ride, it’s important to gradually include longer rides in your training. JOIN will recognise if you’re ready for those, but keep in mind that that would require 4–6 hours of availability on at least one day (our longest workouts go up to 5 hours).
If you have any questions or need help along the way, feel free to reach out to our support team at support@join.cc. We’re happy to help!
