Plan Description
Two Blancares crossings only set up the 15-kilometer, 1,177-meter timed ascent toward Pradollano
The 2027 Gran Fondo is a 119km point-to-point road route with 3,300m of climbing, starting at the Cenes de la Vega municipal sports center and finishing at Pradollano ski station around 2,100m. It is not the separate 38km Subida al Veleta held the following day. The official 15km no-drafting timed ascent packs 1,177m of climbing into the final mountain phase after riders have already accumulated two crossings of Puerto de Blancares.
For the rider chasing a competitive result on nine to thirteen hours a week, this twelve-week plan develops sustained climbing, repeatable mountain power, descending confidence, fueling, altitude-aware pacing, and timed-ascent restraint so decisive moves on the two Puerto de Blancares crossings and late 15-kilometer, 1,177-meter timed ascent toward Pradollano 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.
