What this race demands

Endurance

At 160.9 km, the ride requires prolonged aerobic effort and the stamina to keep riding over a long duration.

Pacing

A long gravel ride rewards controlled effort so an athlete can sustain their pace across the full distance.

Gravel riding

The event is a gravel ride, so athletes need to be comfortable riding on gravel surfaces; the available facts do not specify their condition or technical difficulty.

For a ride likely to last well over 2.5 hours, aim for about 60–90 g of carbohydrate per hour.
