About
The Utopia Gravel Fest Baza is a two-day gravel festival that turns the Baza basin in northeastern Granada into the stage for a full cycling experience. Distances of 165 and 110 kilometres with 2,800 metres of cumulative climbing take riders through the semi-arid and mountainous terrain surrounding the Sierra de Baza, a landscape featuring dusty tracks and technical trails. The festival format blends competitive riding with a strong social atmosphere. A compelling option for cyclists who want to explore a lesser-known corner of Andalusia while riding challenging and rewarding terrain. At Push Rider, back-to-back days are addressed in the 12-week programme as a structured load-and-recovery block: the performance activation nutrition phase manages inter-stage fuelling, and the weekly TrainingPeaks coach review calibrates daily TSS so the legs arrive at stage two ready to perform.

How to prepare for the Utopia Gravel Fest Baza using the PUSH TRAINING 360 method?
The PUSH TRAINING 360 method structures 12 weeks of preparation with weekly review across four phases: aerobic base, threshold building, specificity load, and tapering. For a stage race of up to 165 km and 2,800 m of elevation in the Granada area, the specificity load includes consecutive riding days to train inter-stage recovery. Nutrition follows three phases: pre-event loading, per-stage fuelling, and active overnight recovery. Pacing strategy prioritises staying below threshold on the first stage to preserve energy for the second.
