What this race demands
This 120 km cycling event around Erhai Lake requires steady aerobic endurance to sustain a prolonged effort over a mostly flat profile.
Aerobic Endurance
Covering 120 kilometers demands sustained pedaling efficiency and cardiovascular endurance over several hours.
Pacing Control
The modest 360 meters of elevation gain requires riders to maintain an even, disciplined output rather than surging on climbs.
Aim for 60 to 90 grams of carbohydrates per hour to maintain energy levels throughout the duration of the ride.
