GRUSK climbs to Spruce Knob, the highest point in West Virginia — 82 miles of mountain gravel.

The grades are long and steady rather than steep, on forest roads that run from smooth dirt to rutted, washed-out double track — and the climbing does not end at the summit. This is a twelve-week plan for that day, built around your fitness and the hours you actually have. It builds the sustained climbing and the long-ride durability the course asks for, in phases, with recovery placed where a normal working week allows.

WHAT'S INSIDE

• Structured rides with real graphs on your calendar


• Strength built in with video walkthroughs — climbing legs get built off the bike too


• Weekly notes from me + the Gravel Grit mental program


• A testing week + mid-plan retest, so the work is measured to you


• The full GRUSK race guide — pacing, gearing, fueling, mountain weather
