A repeating Ardennes circuit around Vianden
Eislek Gravel asks riders to repeat the same climbing pattern on Sunday: the cobbled ramp to Vianden Castle, a sustained forest climb, and a descent to the Our valley. The course demands repeatable climbing strength, controlled early pacing, and confident handling on cobbles and forest gravel so the final lap remains steady.
Built for riders aged 50 and over, this twelve-week plan uses 7-11 hours per week to develop repeatable climbing strength while protecting recovery. Climbing sessions are spaced carefully, with strength and mobility work supporting durability for the castle ramp, forest ascent, and descent on each lap.
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 Eislek Gravel 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.
