About
Three days in the heart of the Sauerland: the 3RIDES Gravel Winterberg offers a stage-race format with daily distances of 86 or 129 km and more than 3,000 m of cumulative elevation gain. Winterberg is synonymous with spruce forests, wide ridgelines, and compacted gravel tracks, with nearly 88 percent of the course run off-road. The third stage holds UCI Gravel World Series points, raising the competitive stakes for riders targeting international rankings. The steady, rolling relief of the Rhenish Massif demands consistent effort management over consecutive days rather than explosive power, rewarding athletes who have trained their capacity to absorb fatigue. In Push Training 360 we structure back-to-back training blocks and a precise tapering phase so you arrive at the UCI-scored finale with fresh legs and the mental resilience to race your best.
