Track, profile and categorized climbs at a glance. The map and altimetry come from the real GPX track; tap a numbered climb for its detail.
Official profile
Official distance and elevation with a mountain profile. We estimate your times from those numbers.
Estimate by level
Without a GPX we still estimate your time from the official distance, elevation and terrain profile. We will refine it once the track is processed.

What do I need to know?
Ridium's training read and the caveats before you trust the times.
Training read · Ridium AIHalf Crushed is a 59.5 km mixed-surface mountain route with roughly 1,920 m of climbing and a high point near 3,130 m. Route data points to a demanding high-altitude day pairing sustained climbing with technical mixed-surface handling over a shorter distance than the full Crusher.
- Climbing
With around 1,920 m of elevation gain over 59.5 km in mountain terrain, prioritize sustained climbing work and progressively longer hill efforts across the suggested 10-week build.
- Altitude
Because the route reaches near 3,130 m (over 10,000 ft), expect reduced power at altitude; if you live at lower elevation, consider conditional altitude exposure or conservative pacing on the highest sections.
- Technical
Given the high technical difficulty on mixed-surface mountain terrain, include rides on varied surfaces so tire choice, grip, and feeding stay stable as fatigue builds on rougher sections.
- Endurance
With a high endurance rating over 59.5 km, anchor the block in steady aerobic rides that approximate your expected moving time rather than relying mainly on short, intense sessions.
Caveats
- No completed GPX analysis was available for this route at generation time.
