Hey @mikethewhite!

One way top approach this is to build a Training Plan that ends at the beginning of June. For this Training Plan, select the General Fitness goal that best describes your goal for the beginning of the season (Increasing FTP, Improving Cllimbing, Building Endurance, Getting Faster for Group Rides, General Fitness or Maintaining Fitness). In other words, how would you describe the way you want your fitness to change from now until June in a couple of words?
At the beginning of June, build a new 3-4 month Training Plan and select Maintaining Fitness as your Goal. This Training Plan is great for a maintenance phase.

If you don’t want to taper for these cycling trips, schedule them as C races. Don’t worry about getting the Event Durations exactly right. The exact length and duration of the Stage Race is less relevant than the A/B/C prioritisation. You can learn more about how Event Prioritisation affects Your Training Plan and Adaptations here.
I hope this helps! Let me know if you have questions!
