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 riders working with four to six hours a week against a job and everything else. Most of the limited hours go toward the kind of sustained riding that fast, rolling terrain over sixty-plus miles asks for, because the four thousand feet of climbing here comes spread across the day rather than in one place.
