BWR's red-rock high-desert course
From Cedar City, the Waffle runs across high-desert red-rock gravel, mixing steep, technical grades with flat-to-rolling stretches between climbs. The start sits near 5,800 feet, and desert heat adds to the strain.
For riders building toward their first BWR Utah finish, this twelve-week plan uses seven to eleven hours a week to develop repeatable climbing, steady pacing in desert heat, and confident handling on loose red-rock gravel. Longer rides and strength work prepare your legs to keep working when steep grades arrive without a flat stretch for recovery.
INSIDE THE FINISHER PLAN — 7–11 HR/WK
Includes zone-tailored structured rides for your devices, built-in strength with video walkthroughs, heat-training protocols for racing in the hot stuff, peloton skills workouts, weekly coach notes + the Gravel Grit mental program, nutrition and hydration guidance, and an altitude module.
The Complete BWR Utah Guide — the training, the tactics, the gear and race day, explained simply and clearly: what to do, when to do it, and why it works.
