What the course asks of you
Campos do Jordão sits at around 1,600 m in the Serra da Mantiqueira, so the course is all mountain roads: more than 20 m of climbing per kilometre on the long route, in climbs of varied length, with fast descents between them.
Altitude and constant climbing reward steady pacing. Train repeated climbing efforts and practise eating on the bike: there are few easy kilometres to do it in.
How to prepare
The general shape of a good preparation, which Event Coach turns into a plan for your fitness, time and date:
- Train repeated climbs: several efforts of 8 to 15 minutes close to your threshold, with short recoveries, copy the rhythm of L'Étape Campos do Jordão.
- Build the long ride towards 107 km, so the final climbs are not the first time your legs have been out that long.
- Add a few short efforts at low cadence on steep gradients, for the ramps that come late in the day.
Pacing mistakes to avoid
The mistakes that cost riders the most on a day like this:
- Answering every climb of L'Étape Campos do Jordão with a surge: repeated climbs reward an even effort, not a burst on each ramp.
- Spending the most on the famous climb when the hardest part of the day is still to come.
- Letting the pace of the group on the flat decide how tired you arrive at the climbs.
