The Giro Sardegna Gravel is about 66 miles with roughly 4,100 feet of climbing on a mix of gravel and paved coastal roads between Muravera and Villasimius, in southeast Sardinia. The riding is fast and non-technical, run in May, when temperatures range from about 18 to 28°C.
This is a twelve-week plan for finishing the distance on the hours you can give it, seven to eleven a week. Most of the work builds the endurance to cover 66 miles of mixed roads, with steady riding on the kind of rolling terrain that adds up to 4,100 feet of climbing over a long day.
