About
Built specifically for Dirty Reiver's rough, remote Kielder Forest gravel — not a road plan with the word ‘gravel’ added. Sixteen weeks of proven periodisation, 3-build-1-deload, repeated across 12 weeks and then a final 4-week taper layered with what actually decides a result on this course. Back-to-back long rides for durability under sustained rough-surface fatigue, bike-handling drills for loose and rocky descending, race-simulation surges that match Kielder's rolling profile, twice-weekly strength work for the grip and core endurance long gravel days demand, and dedicated mechanical/self-sufficiency prep for a remote, mandatory-kit event. Single structured plan, ~10-12 hours/week average, built by a British Cycling and TrainingPeaks Level 2 accredited coach.
