Truckee Tahoe Gravel’s medium course is 66 miles with about 4,600 feet of climbing, 84 percent gravel, and a start near 5,800 feet. Sierra roads and a course averaging about 6,100 feet make sustained climbing and steady work at altitude the central demands.
This is a twelve-week plan for the same climbing and distance, with more recovery for riders over fifty. The schedule develops sustained endurance and repeatable climbing while leaving more room between demanding sessions.
66 MI · ~4,604 FT CLIMBING · ~6.1K FT ALTITUDE, 84% GRAVEL · 12 WEEKS · 7–11 HR/WK · MASTERS 50+
