Closed Joburg roads, fast groups, and 1,398 metres of constant work
947 Ride Joburg starts and finishes at Kyalami Grand Prix Circuit on November 22, 2026. The organizer's timed 97 km road race gains 1,398 metres while crossing the M1, Nelson Mandela Bridge, and Johannesburg's rolling high-altitude streets on fully closed roads.
For the experienced rider training seven to eleven hours a week, this twelve-week plan balances demanding race-pace work with deliberate recovery so power and durability rise without carrying avoidable fatigue into the Kyalami start.

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
