What do I need to know?
Ridium's training read and the caveats before you trust the times.
Training read · Ridium AIThe 805 km route at Across Andes Volcano Edition 2026 is a flat-to-rolling road ride where sustained steady power, positioning and pacing matter more than pure climbing.
- Endurance
Build steady aerobic endurance toward the 805 km distance so a long time in the saddle stays comfortable, allowing roughly 24 weeks of progressive volume.
- Pacing
Practise holding a sustainable, even effort and riding efficiently in a group, since flat and rolling terrain rewards consistent power and good positioning over surges.
- Fueling
Rehearse regular hourly fuelling on long rides so energy stays stable across the distance rather than fading late.
