What this race demands
This 135-kilometer road ride with 2,286 meters of elevation gain requires sustained aerobic pacing and consistent climbing endurance over a full day in the saddle.
Climbing volume
Accumulating 2,286 meters of vertical gain over a 135 km route demands reliable climbing mechanics and the ability to manage muscular fatigue on sustained ascents.
Extended endurance
A distance of 135 kilometers requires a high volume of continuous aerobic work, making pacing discipline essential to finish strongly.
Given a duration well exceeding 2.5 hours, target 60 to 90 grams of carbohydrates per hour to maintain energy output throughout the ride.
