El Pangue arrives after the neutral start and demands a complete racer

A paved, rolling-to-hilly wine-country loop organized by Fernando "Feña" Almuna and Epic Rides Chile since its 2022 debut, starting and finishing at Fundo El Molino, Curacaví. A 16km neutralized opening leads into a 111km competitive section that dips into Casablanca (Valparaíso Region) before returning through María Pinto back to Curacaví — the event is based in the Santiago Metropolitan Region, not Valparaíso, despite the wine-country association. El Pangue, the signature ascent to the course's 700m high point, followed by a fast, technical descent into Casablanca — the site of a serious high-speed rider crash in the 2026 edition.

For the rider chasing a competitive result on nine to thirteen hours a week, this twelve-week plan develops durable mixed-terrain power, disciplined pacing, fueling, and late-race decision-making so the decisive moves at El Pangue and its fast technical descent are still available.

INSIDE THE COMPETE PLAN — 9–13 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, and nutrition and hydration guidance.
