The Tour of Qiandao Lake Cycling Race is a classic amateur road cycling event that began in 2006. It is usually held in autumn and is famous for its scenic route around Qiandao Lake.
What this race demands
This 136-kilometer autumn cycling event requires sustained aerobic output and solid group-riding efficiency over moderate elevation.
Aerobic Endurance
Covering 136 kilometers demands strong cardiovascular capacity and the ability to maintain steady power output over several hours in the saddle.
Pacing Discipline
With 618 meters of climbing spread across the distance, athletes must manage their energy output efficiently to avoid late-race fatigue.
Peloton Efficiency
Riding around the lake setting favors riders comfortable with group dynamics and drafting to conserve energy.
A sustained effort lasting over four hours requires continuous carbohydrate intake of 60 to 90 grams per hour to maintain performance levels.
