What the Cotswolds asks of you

Typical sessions

Hours in the saddle: 5 to 8 for a fast 100km, well past a day and a night on a 300km completion

Rolling relentlessness. No mountains, but the constant small climbs quietly add up over the longer routes

Full self-sufficiency: navigate by GPX, resupply from village shops and pubs, and mind their opening hours

On the 200 and 300, a night out. Mild, but route-finding is harder once it's dark

What your weeks look like

Typical sessions

Long Z2 gravel rides, the core session, built progressively from 3 up to 8 hours

Loaded rides with your full bikepacking kit, to shake down and dial in the setup

Back-to-back weekend doubles, plus an overnight bivvy to rehearse the 200 or 300

Night gravel rides on the longer routes, learning your lights and GPS in the dark

Not a generic schedule

Typical sessions

Built from your current fitness and the time you actually have

Adapts every week as Beina learns how you respond

Syncs your sessions straight to Garmin and Wahoo

One clear next session, never a wall of spreadsheet
