What do I need to know?
Ridium's training read and the caveats before you trust the times.
Training read · Ridium AIThe 180 km La Indurain route is the extreme option, with 183.3 km, 3,665 m of climbing, repeated steep sectors, and a 17:30 cutoff. GPX analysis highlights long endurance, repeated climbs, steep gradients, and fueling as key demands.
- Endurance
Use the 16-week preparation window to progress long rides toward five-plus hours, because the route combines 183 km with substantial climbing.
- Climbing
Include sustained climbing blocks and late-ride hill work, since the GPX shows major climbs near 83-93 km and 131-148 km after early steep ramps.
- Fueling
Practice feeding from the first hour in long rides, because the route's distance, 3,665 m of elevation gain, and cutoff make steady energy intake central to pacing.
