Plan Description
Three timed climbs across two days make repeatability—not one heroic effort—the result
A two-day, paved-road event on Gran Canaria starting and finishing at Hotel Riu Palace in Maspalomas: a 112km Saturday stage with two timed climbing sectors (Ayagaures and the long Pasito Blanco-Salto del Perro climb), and a 75km Sunday stage built around a single 22km climb to Tirajana/Tunte. The roughly 187km weekend total (regulations say 186km) includes only three individually chip-timed climbing sectors, about 63km combined, that count toward the overall classification — the rest of Stage 1 is documented as a neutralized descent toward Mogan followed by a regrouped return to Maspalomas; the organizer's published Stage 2 schedule doesn't document the same regrouping language for the untimed portion. The Pasito Blanco to Alto Salto del Perro climb — 29km (from km 33 to km 62) and roughly 997m of gain, the longest single timed sector of the weekend.
For the rider with a full calendar and four to six hours a week, this twelve-week plan directs limited training time toward repeatable climbing across two stages, disciplined sector pacing, descending confidence, fueling, and overnight recovery, with one purposeful longer ride each week.
