What the course asks of you
The course climbs from sea level into the island's volcanic highlands: a long ascent towards Kintamani in the second half, after rolling coastal roads, in tropical heat and humidity.
Heat and a long climb late in the day: train long climbs, practise drinking and taking salts on a schedule, and start slower than you think.
How to prepare
The general shape of a good preparation, which Event Coach turns into a plan for your fitness, time and date:
- Train long climbs: steady efforts of 30 to 60 minutes just below your threshold match the cols of GFNY Bali far better than short intervals.
- Build the long day: rides of five to seven hours in the final two months, towards the 134 km of the route you choose.
- Practise eating and drinking on a schedule, and descending: a mountain day is as much going down as going up.
Pacing mistakes to avoid
The mistakes that cost riders the most on a day like this:
- Treating the first climb of GFNY Bali as a race: a long col ridden above the pace you can hold for hours costs you the rest of the day.
- Saving nothing for the last climb, where the most kilometres are already in your legs.
- Skipping food on the descents: the next climb starts with what you ate on the way down.
