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 a six-week plan. Six weeks isn’t enough to build endurance for an 86-mile day from scratch, but it’s enough to get your legs as ready as the time allows, settle your pacing for two laps and Wicket Hill twice, and get you to the start prepared for what the race is.

WHAT'S INSIDE

• Structured workouts on your calendar, with real power and heart-rate graphs


• Strength work built in, with video walkthroughs


• Weekly notes from me, plus the Gravel Grit mental program


• A testing week, so the plan runs on your real numbers


• The full Gravelista guide — pacing, fueling, and gearing, so smart riding can cover what six weeks of training can’t

WHAT YOU'LL GET

What six weeks can honestly give — a finish with something left.
