What to train for
Prepare for long climbs and technical descents: sustained climbing intervals plus rides that link several climbs back to back.
Build enough endurance that the last climb still feels smooth, and practice descending on narrow rural roads.

Levi's GranFondo training questions
How long should I train for the Levi's GranFondo?
Most athletes give a cycling twelve to sixteen weeks of focused training on top of an existing base. The coach counts back from your actual race date, so if you have less time than that it builds the best plan the remaining weeks allow rather than pretending you have longer.
What is the Levi's GranFondo course like?
Hilly. Start and finish are at Windsor Town Green in Windsor, California.
What is the weather like at the Levi's GranFondo?
The Levi's GranFondo does not publish typical conditions. Check the official site in race week, and train in whatever your own April weather gives you.
Do I need an account to get a Levi's GranFondo training plan?
Start as a guest and save a free account later. Your coach writes your cycling plan and adapts it every week as you log your training. No card.
