What this race demands

This 300 km cycling event demands exceptional endurance and extended saddle time over a long-distance route around Taihu.

Extended Distance

Covering 300 km requires sustained pacing and deep aerobic stamina to manage energy output over many hours in the saddle.

Pacing Discipline

The ultra-distance nature of the course demands strict adherence to target power or heart rate zones to prevent premature fatigue.

Aim for an intake of 60 to 90 grams of carbohydrates per hour to maintain energy levels throughout the extended duration of the ride.

Pick the level closest to yours for an estimate of finish time on this course and the training a solid preparation needs.
