What do I need to know?
Ridium's training read and the caveats before you trust the times.
Training read · Ridium AIThe queen route: 45 km and about 2,300 m of climbing from Mall Sport all the way to the Valle Nevado ski resort at roughly 3,000 m. Beyond Farellones the road keeps climbing to categoria especial - a 3-4 hour high-altitude challenge.
- Climbing
Two climbs in one: the ascent to Farellones via Las Cuarenta Curvas, then the higher, more exposed road to Valle Nevado. Keep the effort even and save matches for the final exposed kilometres.
- Pacing
Ride the first 33 km as if Farellones were the finish, then reassess. Going into the red before the upper section above 2,400 m is the classic mistake.
- Altitude
You finish near 3,000 m, where the air is genuinely thin and sustainable power can fall 10-15% versus sea level. Set realistic expectations and pace by feel as much as by numbers on the final climb.
- Fueling
Treat it as an endurance event: 60-90 g of carbohydrate per hour, start eating in the first 30 minutes, and carry or refill at least two bottles. Appetite drops at altitude, so eat before you feel hungry.
- Recovery
You may start warm in the Santiago valley and finish in near-freezing alpine air - carry a packable jacket and gloves, add layers immediately at the line, and descend under control.
Caveats
- The elevation profile is approximated from terrain data and may read lower than the official figure.
- Official distance and elevation gain from the organiser take precedence over the GPS track.
