I've done some biking, but not 70 miles worth in a day. From what I read, it's 60% roads, 36-38% trail, and another 2-4% of craters, potholes, rivers, and stuff. Registration doesn't open for another 10 weeks, so i have some time to think about it.

It took longer due to me only doing half of the workouts but stayed with the eating program cause obviously @ 350 pounds I was in no condition to do the full.
Work Outs
Week 1
30 min cardio in AM
30 min cardio PM
Week 2
40 in AM & PM
Week 3
50 in AM & PM
Week 4
60 in AM & PM
6 small meals a day staying below 2,000 calories half protein shakes half solid meals.
It is off of an article a friend gave me in muscle magazine.
I'm very wary of including protein shakes when trying to lose weight and not to build muscle. I drink a shake after a weight lifting workout and an hour later I'm starving. In general that's OK for me as I'm pretty active and a hard gainer. For someone looking to lose weight that could be trouble especially if it doesn't keep you full for long like me.

WOO!! Heck yeah dude! 4% in one week? Wow! If you don't mind me asking what was your starting BF%? What was used to measure?
My starting was 32% and I lost 4% in my first week too. When you're as big as I am/was it comes off easy at first.

What I do know is switch from high weight/low reps to high reps every couple weeks...but it's pretty easy to switch the weight up, is there a good way to switch up the cardio to get more benefit in the same amount of time?

In the same boat as being big.
Believe it or not mine was the same lol. I started at 269 and 32%. Now 255 and 28%. I use a scale at my gym. You plug in your height, activity level, and age. You also have to use your bare feet as well. I highly doubt it is 100% accurate but I am guessing it gives you some kind of idea.

With cardio you can mix up distance running with sprints. You can do distance running for a few weeks, then throw in springs for a while. Or you can do both during the same run.
