What do I need to know?
Ridium's training read and the caveats before you trust the times.
Training read · Ridium AIGran Fondo is a 138.4 km road route with 2395 m of climbing, mountain terrain, and high endurance demand. Route-specific detail is limited because completed GPX analysis is not available, so use the published distance, elevation, and surface as the main preparation anchors.
- Endurance
Use the 14-week preparation window to build steady endurance around long aerobic rides that reflect the 138.4 km distance and 2395 m of climbing.
- Climbing
Include repeated climbing work because the route stacks 3 climbs, 2395 m of ascent, and ramps up to steep% where the profile is confirmed.
- Pacing
Because the event is timed, Plan a conservative opening effort and keep intensity repeatable across the main climbs before the 13:47 cutoff.
- Fueling
Rehearse fueling and bottle access during hilly endurance rides so intake remains consistent across 138.4 km and 2395 m of climbing.
Caveats
- No completed GPX analysis was available for this route at generation time.
