Rider fit
Who it's for
It is designed for cyclists of all stripes, from families looking for a casual weekend ride to hardcore endurance athletes aiming to conquer steep alpine-style road marathons.
Who will struggle
Riders with limited climbing preparation or endurance will find the longer road marathon distances (from 159 km up to 258 km) exceptionally punishing due to the relentless rolling hills.
Training focus
Pace yourself on building long-distance endurance and consistent climbing power to handle the sustained, rolling elevation of the German highlands.
