The original Grinduro, and the format is the whole story. You ride a big ~75km gravel loop, but the clock only runs on a handful of marked segments. The sum of those decides your result.

The course

The route

A single ~75km gravel loop with around 1,800m of climbing, strung across forest and estate tracks with some singletrack. Only three to five timed segments, a mix of hard climbs and technical descents, count toward your result.

Intervals.icu

Punch and skill, not a steady grind

Typical sessions

Only three to five timed segments decide your result; the rest of the loop is untimed and social

Short, near-max efforts on the timed climbs, with recovery in between

Technical descents on loose, often wet Scottish gravel, where handling is free time

Enough endurance to complete ~75km and 1,800m of climbing comfortably

What your weeks look like

Typical sessions

Short Hard Repeats: 6 to 10 by 2 to 5 min near-max with full recovery, for timed-climb punch

VO2 intervals: 5 by 3 min to raise your ceiling for the segments

Grinduro simulation: a 3 to 4 hr easy loop with 3 to 5 all-out segments, full recovery between

Dedicated descending and gravel-skills sessions on loose, wet lines
