Hegau Gravel Race's UCI long course covers 108 kilometers in two 54-kilometer laps and climbs 1,860 meters around Singen, Germany. Transponder timing, age-group start blocks, three feed points per lap, and a 2:00 PM second-lap cutoff make controlled opening-lap execution essential.
This 12-week Time-Crunched plan directs limited weekly hours toward durable climbing and a purposeful longer ride for Hegau Gravel Race: repeatable climbing, disciplined positioning, efficient feed-zone decisions, and enough reserve to begin the second lap before the cutoff.

Hey, I'm Matti. I spent 11 years at TrainingPeaks, where they trusted me to teach coaches how to coach at TrainingPeaks University. I raced Amateur Elite with Rio Grande Cycling Team and podiumed my age group at Unbound 200 in 2026. I have a degree in biology and exercise physiology from St. Olaf. I'm also a middle-aged dad of three, so I know training doesn't happen in a vacuum. I help gravel riders get stupidly fast without becoming the person who brings a food scale to a party
