Event brief

Training tips

97 km is a 97 km gravel route with 2500 m of climbing, mountain terrain, and high endurance demand. GPX analysis adds route-specific climb and gradient detail for preparation.

  • Endurance

    Use the 14-week preparation window to build steady endurance around long aerobic rides that reflect the 97 km distance and 2500 m of climbing.

  • Climbing

    Include repeated climbing work because the route stacks 7 climbs, 2500 m of ascent, and ramps up to 18% where the profile is confirmed.

  • Technical

    Practice pacing, braking, and line choice on gravel terrain so handling stays controlled when fatigue builds.

  • Pacing

    Because the event is timed, Plan a conservative opening effort and keep intensity repeatable across the main climbs before the 15:30 cutoff.

  • Fueling

    Rehearse fueling and bottle access during hilly endurance rides so intake remains consistent across 97 km and 2500 m of climbing.
