Vineyard rollers to one 19% wall
Prosecco Cycling loops through the UNESCO Prosecco Hills on a climb-descend-roll rhythm of short, punchy pitches through terraced vineyards and medieval villages, sharpest at the Muro di Ca' del Poggio's steep wall. Surfaces are smooth countryside pavement; the demand is repeated short, sharp power rather than sustained climbing or flat pace.
For the rider with only six weeks left and five to nine hours a week, this rescue plan keeps the work most likely to matter on the Prosecco Hills' punchy course: short, sharp climbing power for the Prosecco Hills' punchy pitches, recovery, and pacing. It makes purposeful use of current fitness without claiming to replace lost months.

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
