What this race demands

Granfondo Torres Vedras demands sustained climbing capability and muscular endurance over a moderately long 137 km route with 2396 meters of elevation gain.

Climbing volume

Accumulating nearly 2400 meters of climbing over 137 km requires continuous efforts on the ascents and efficient pacing to preserve energy throughout the ride.

Muscular endurance

The substantial distance and hilly profile test an athlete's ability to maintain power output and pedaling efficiency over several hours in the saddle.

Given a duration likely exceeding four hours, athletes should aim for a consistent intake of 60 to 90 grams of carbohydrates per hour to maintain performance.
