Official event pageWhat this race demands
The Oktoberfest Ride is a 115-kilometer end-of-season cycling sportive requiring sustained aerobic endurance over moderate mileage.
Aerobic endurance
Covering 115 kilometers requires maintaining a steady, efficient pedal stroke and sustained cardiovascular output for several hours.
End-of-season pacing
Taking place at the end of the cycling season in the Brabant Kempen region, the event tests residual fitness and late-year fatigue management.
Given a duration likely exceeding three to four hours for most participants, riders should target an intake of 60 to 90 grams of carbohydrates per hour to maintain energy levels.
