Gravelista is 86 miles of rolling farm gravel out of Seymour, Victoria — about 5,700 feet of climbing, 82% unpaved, and the Wicket Hill climb, a kilometre averaging 11 percent, ridden twice.

The long course runs as two laps, and Victorian spring weather is genuinely variable — the 2025 edition ran in cold rain. This is an eight-week plan for that day, built around the hours you have to train. Eight weeks assumes you’re starting with a base, not from scratch — it spends that time on long days of rolling gravel, the short, steep climbing Wicket Hill asks for, and riding well in whatever the weather does.

WHAT YOU'LL GET
