Typical sessions
Repeated short steep climbs on rock and dirt, not long steady drags
Technical coastal singletrack descents where handling decides your time
Cumulative fatigue in the legs on the climbs and the arms and grip on the descents
Warm May heat with little shade on the exposed climbs
What your weeks look like
Typical sessions
Punchy climb reps: 6-8x 3-5min on a steep climb
A weekly rocky-trail skills session on loose natural descents
Skills under fatigue: 30-45min descending after a 2hr climbing ride
A long climb-and-descend ride building to 3-4hr and 1,800m+ of climbing
