What do I need to know?
Ridium's training read and the caveats before you trust the times.
Training read · Ridium AIThe Gran Fondo is an extreme 204 km alpine day with about 4,900 m of climbing over six major Dolomite passes — Forcella Franche, Forcella Staulanza, Passo Duran, Forcella Aurine, Passo Cereda and Croce d'Aune — rewarding deep climbing endurance and disciplined pacing.
- Endurance
With roughly 24 weeks of preparation available, progressively extend your longest rides toward 5–6 hours, because 204 km with about 4,900 m of climbing demands aerobic endurance well beyond a typical century.
- Climbing
Train repeated long climbs of 20–60 minutes, because the route stacks six major passes (Forcella Franche, Forcella Staulanza, Passo Duran, Forcella Aurine, Passo Cereda and Croce d'Aune) and single-climb fitness is not enough.
- Pacing
Hold a conservative effort on the early Forcella Franche and the long Staulanza sequence so you protect the legs for the steeper Passo Duran and the late Croce d'Aune climb near 185 km.
- Technical
Practice long alpine descents, because each of the six passes is followed by a fast descent and descending fatigue accumulates across the day.
- Fueling
Rehearse continuous on-bike fueling and hydration on your long rides, because an effort this long with an early 07:00 start makes a steady feeding plan essential.
- Heat
If conditions are warm, plan extra fluids and electrolytes for the low-valley sections between climbs, as a late-June event can bring heat at lower altitudes.
