READ THE FULL L'ETAPE CZECH REPUBLIC BY TOUR DE FRANCE REVIEW →
Fully closed Bohemian roads, Prague to Prague.
L'Etape Czech Republic winds through Central Bohemia's Krivoklat forests and Czech Karst on fully closed roads, starting and finishing in Prague. The terrain is punchy rolling hills rather than sustained mountain climbing — categorized ascents of 2-5 km that reward repeated efforts, not one defining climb.
For the experienced rider training seven to eleven hours a week, this twelve-week plan spaces demanding sessions with deliberate recovery, building the repeated punchy climbing the Bohemian hills' short, sharp ascents demand.
INSIDE THE MASTERS PLAN — 7–11 HR/WK
Includes zone-tailored structured rides for your devices, built-in strength with video walkthroughs, heat protocols for when your race calls for them, peloton skills workouts, nutrition and hydration guidance, and recovery-first Masters 50+ structuring.

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
