Event brief
Training tips
Reto Salsa is a 180.4 km road route with 2799 m of climbing, mountain terrain, and extreme endurance demand. GPX analysis adds route-specific climb and gradient detail for preparation.
Use the 18-week preparation window to build steady endurance around long aerobic rides that reflect the 180.4 km distance and 2799 m of climbing.
Include repeated climbing work because the route stacks 4 climbs, 2799 m of ascent, and ramps up to 18% where the profile is confirmed.
Because the event is timed, Plan a conservative opening effort and keep intensity repeatable across the main climbs.
Rehearse fueling and bottle access during hilly endurance rides so intake remains consistent across 180.4 km and 2799 m of climbing.
