About
Flysch Gravel offers 65 km and 1,500 m of elevation along the Gipuzkoa coast, starting from Deba in the heart of the UNESCO-recognised Basque Coast Geopark, famous for its unique flysch geological formations. The route mixes dirt tracks overlooking the Bay of Biscay with paths through fern fields and Atlantic forests, and inland climbs linking traditional farmhouses. It is a technically demanding and visually striking cyclosportive, perfect for riders who want to combine a nature experience with terrain of exceptional geological value. Wet surfaces and irregular Basque terrain demand active riding and traction control — skills Push Rider Training 360 develops through specific technical sessions on dirt within the strength mesocycle, at low wattage with maximum focus on ground feedback.

How to prepare for Flysch Gravel with PUSH TRAINING 360?
PUSH TRAINING 360 is a 12-week plan with weekly review, built around 4 phases: aerobic base, threshold construction, specificity load, and tapering. For 65 km with 1,500 m of elevation in the Basque Country Flysch Geopark, the specificity phase includes high-tempo work on short climbs and technique on coastal gravel surfaces. Nutrition follows 3 phases: pre-event preloading, intake every 25-35 minutes during the event, and active recovery. Pacing strategy recommends starting at a strong pace given the short distance, managing effort peaks on the climbing sections.
