Seven Alpine days, ridden as two
Typical sessions
Around 550km and 18,000m of climbing over seven back-to-back stages
Long pass climbs at altitude, where thin air costs the unacclimatised rider power
Long technical descents into each valley that punish tired arms and weak handling
You ride and finish as a pair, so the team is only as fast as the rider having the harder day
What your weeks look like
Typical sessions
Big Climbing Days: 4 to 6 hours with 2,000 to 3,000m of ascent
Weekend doubles building to a Big Weekend (Sat 6 to 7 hrs, Sun 5 hrs) to ride on tired legs
Fatigued descending: long technical descents at the end of a long ride
Pairs rides with your partner for matched pacing, drafting, feeding and legal tow practice
Not a generic schedule
