Plan Description
READ THE FULL GRAVEL AND TAR REVIEW →
ELITE RACE — OPEN EVENT PAUSED — The Classic is a UCI elite race; its open-entry companion, the Slicks and Stones Gravel Assault, is on pause with no next edition announced. This plan trains the gravel-and-tar demands either way.
An elite-only New Zealand race with gravel sectors
Gravel and Tar courses cross rolling New Zealand farmland, mixing sealed roads with gravel sectors so riders handle surface changes at speed. The course demands steady endurance, control across changing surfaces, and repeated hard efforts through the gravel sectors.
With 7 to 11 hours each week, this twelve-week plan balances endurance work with deliberate recovery. It builds strength for rolling hills and steadiness on New Zealand gravel and sealed roads without packing every week with hard riding.
INSIDE THE MASTERS 50+ PLAN — 7–11 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, weekly coach notes + the Gravel Grit mental program, nutrition and hydration guidance, and recovery-first Masters 50+ structuring.
The Complete Gravel and Tar Guide — training, tactics, gear, and race-day execution.
