What this race demands
Gran Fondo João Pessoa demands sustained aerobic output over a 109 km road cycling distance with minimal elevation change.
Aero efficiency
Because the course features only 500 meters of elevation gain across 109 kilometers, sustained high speeds on flat terrain will dictate performance.
Pacing discipline
The long distance requires maintaining a steady output for several hours without the forced rest periods typically provided by major climbs.
Target 60 to 90 grams of carbohydrates per hour to sustain energy levels over the expected multi-hour duration.
