Belgian Waffle Ride Kansas is 111 miles with about 8,000 feet of climbing on gravel roads, broken up by two cyclocross sections at miles 15 and 55, singletrack at mile 35, and rolling climbs that stack up through the final miles from mile 70.
This is a six-week plan for when the entry is paid and the weeks are short. Six weeks isn’t enough to build the handling for the cyclocross sections and singletrack from scratch, but it is enough to sharpen the fitness you have for the repeated climbing and get you to the start with a plan for the distance.
