Rad am Ring confirms its 2027 Nürburgring festival for July 23–25 and keeps the gravel race in Saturday’s Grand Depart. The latest published 100-kilometer format runs four climbing-heavy circuits across Formula 1 and Nordschleife asphalt, gravel descents, trails, and forest roads.
This six-week Save My Race plan cannot manufacture climbing durability from scratch; it prioritizes the safest high-return climbing, fueling, handling, and equipment work while protecting race-week freshness.

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
