Plan Description


BWR California is 107 miles with 7,367 feet of climbing and 30 unroad sectors across 53% of the course. Gravel, deep sand, rocks, doubletrack, dirt, and singletrack keep the surface changing through the day.


This is a six-week plan for the time left before BWR California. Six weeks is not enough to build 107-mile endurance from scratch, but it can focus your existing fitness on sustained riding, climbing, and mixed-surface handling.


107 MI  ·  7,367 FT CLIMBING  ·  53% UNROAD AND 47% PAVEMENT ON THE 2026 WAFFLE, MIXING GRAVEL  ·  6 WEEKS  ·  5–9 HR/WK  ·  SAVE MY RACE

Gravel God Cycling Coaching

Hey! I'm Matti - also known as the Gravel God himself!

If you're into gravel racing and want to be as fast as possible, you had better choose me!

Why?

Because I'm the fastest, least talented person to ever ride a bike. I've made every mistake in the book so you don't have to and I'm here to save you years of failure and struggle.
