What do I need to know?

Ridium's training read and the caveats before you trust the times.

Training read · Ridium AIThe 117 km route at Gran Fondo Nevados de Chillan 2026 is a flat-to-rolling road ride where sustained steady power, positioning and pacing matter more than pure climbing.

  • Endurance

    Build steady aerobic endurance toward the 117 km distance so a long time in the saddle stays comfortable, allowing roughly 14 weeks of progressive volume.

  • Pacing

    Practise holding a sustainable, even effort and riding efficiently in a group, since flat and rolling terrain rewards consistent power and good positioning over surges.

  • Fueling

    Rehearse regular hourly fuelling on long rides so energy stays stable across the distance rather than fading late.
