A gravel race where you only race a few minutes of it. A ~100km loop through the Eifel forest near the Belgian border, but the clock runs on just three to five short segments. The rest you ride at your own pace.

The course

The route

A single ~100km gravel loop with around 2,000m of climbing through the Eifel hills, on forest tracks, gravel roads and rougher singletrack. Only three to five marked segments, a mix of climbs and technical descents, are timed, and your combined time on those is your result.

Intervals.icu

Short, sharp and social

Typical sessions

Three to five timed segments decide everything: a mix of short near-max climbs and technical descents.

The transfers between stages are untimed, so arriving fresh at each segment beats a big steady output.

Loose Eifel gravel and greasy wet descents put handling and nerve on the clock, not just fitness.

Enough endurance to complete a ~100km, ~2,000m loop comfortably is the entry ticket, not the race itself.

What your weeks look like

Typical sessions

Short hard repeats: 6 to 10 by 2 to 5 minutes near-max with full recovery, building punch for the timed climbs.

Descending and gravel-skills sessions: committed repeats on loose and wet lines, because the timed descents give away free time.

Grinduro simulation rides: a 4 to 5 hour easy loop with three to five all-out segments, rehearsing transfers-easy, stages-hard.

Punch on tired legs: hard efforts in the last hour of a long ride, so the late timed climbs still have snap.
