Vuelta Altas Cumbres is 75 miles with about 6,330 feet of climbing in the Argentine Andes, ridden high — the course averages above 7,000 feet, with variable mountain conditions. It is a mountain-gravel climbing day at real altitude.
This is a six-week plan for the Vuelta Altas Cumbres, built around the weeks you have left. Six weeks isn’t enough to build climbing fitness for 6,330 feet at Andean altitude from scratch — but if you have a base, it’s enough to sharpen your climbing and get you to the start with a plan for the climbing and the thin air.
