Official distance and elevation with a mixed profile. We estimate your times from those numbers.
Estimate by level
Without a GPX we still estimate your time from the official distance, elevation and terrain profile. We will refine it once the track is processed.

What do I need to know?
Ridium's training read and the caveats before you trust the times.
Training read · Ridium AIThe 7-day Ultramarathon is a UCI XCM mountain bike stage race covering 536 km and 7,630 m of climbing across seven consecutive days from Joao Pessoa, Paraiba. Success depends on durable multi-day endurance, repeatable climbing, and disciplined daily recovery rather than single-day peak power.
- Endurance
Build toward the seven-stage, 536 km load with a long 24-week base phase and progressive back-to-back long rides so your body adapts to riding hard on consecutive days.
- Recovery
Rehearse the between-stage routine - refuel, hydrate, sleep and spin easy - during multi-day training blocks so daily recovery becomes a trained skill, not an afterthought.
- Climbing
With 7,630 m of total climbing and individual days near 2,000 m, train sustained and repeated climbs, including efforts on already-tired legs late in long rides.
- Pacing
Because the race is timed over seven UCI XCM stages, open conservatively and keep climbing efforts repeatable; protecting your whole week matters more than winning any single stage.
- Fueling
Practice high-volume carbohydrate fueling and consistent hydration on long rides so you can refill glycogen night after night across 536 km of racing.
- Technical
Sharpen mountain bike handling on mixed terrain so braking, cornering and line choice stay reliable when fatigue accumulates over the stages.
- Heat
Expect tropical heat in Paraiba in October; include heat-acclimation rides and a clear hydration and electrolyte plan in the final preparation weeks.
Caveats
- No completed GPX analysis was available for this route at generation time, so tips rely on published event and route data.
- Public roads on the course are not fully closed to traffic, so stay alert and follow event and traffic rules.
