Maybe you want to use

* TODO task
  <2012-11-23 Fri ++2w>

or if you really don=92t want to look ahead in the agenda and really
want the reminders on the two days before

* TODO task (due on Fri)
  <2012-11-21 Wed ++2w>
  <2012-11-22 Thu ++2w>
  <2012-11-23 Fri ++2w>

which will shift all three timestamps synchronously when set to DONE.

This can even be used without TODO when there is no need for the
possibility of getting the task out of the way when it=92s done before
it=92s overdue.
