About
The Bandit by Colina Triste takes gravel racing to one of the most evocative settings of the Castilian interior: Santo Domingo de Silos in Burgos province, a land of gorges, ancient monasteries and vast solitary plateaus. With options of 128 km and 80 km over 1,800 m of elevation, the course blends technical sections, rhythm changes and high-plateau scenery that define the event's identity. Its place in the Copa de Espana RFEC raises the competitive stakes. In Push Training 360 the 1,800 m of elevation concentrated in the longer route is addressed from the threshold-building phase: the coach designs repeated explosive effort intervals on plateau-style ramps and works mental resilience to recover race pace on the long linking sections between Silos and the finish.
