Rider Checklists

La preparación es clave

Completar la  Andorra Epic de cuatro días será un momento destacado en el calendario de cualquier rider. Puede que sea totalmente asumible, pero la preparación y planificación para afrontar la carrera merecen una cuidadosa atención y una buena dosis de respeto.

A tener en cuenta

La preparació es clau

Completar l'Andorra Epic, una prova per etapes de quatre dies, serà un moment destacat al calendari de qualsevol atleta. Potser és totalment assolible, però la preparació i l'ordre per afrontar la cursa mereixen una atenció acurada i una bona dosi de respecte.

A tenir en compte

La préparation est la clé

Terminer l'Andorra Epic, une épreuve par étapes de quatre jours, sera un moment fort du calendrier de tout athlète. C'est peut-être tout à fait réalisable, mais la préparation et l'ordre pour affronter la course méritent une attention particulière et une bonne dose de respect.

À prendre en compte

Bike

  • Mountainbike in perfect working order (E-bikes are not allowed).
  • Recommendation: light-weighted Marathon/XC-Bike with full suspension of around 120mm.
  • Traditional road handlebars (i.e. dropper bars and aero bars) are not allowed.
  • We recommend that you replace any old parts that may not survive the distance.
  • Tires for every kind of weather condition.
  • Recommendation: tubeless tires with an ideal width of 2.2” - 2.3” or 2.4".
  • A dropper seat post is highly recommended.

Riding Gear

  • CE approved Helmet
  • MTB shoes (non-slip, there will be a few walking sections)
  • Chamois Cream
  • Sunglasses
  • We recommend: Hydration pack with space for spares – a capacity of 2 litres.
  • Bottles
  • GPS/Heart rate monitor, bike computer (optional) + Chargers
  • Tools (including duct tape, tyre levers, spare cable, CO2 cartridges and/or pump, cable ties, pins, brake pads, hanger, chain, quick links, chain lube, tubes and multitool)

Riding Clothing

  • Gear for hot and cold temperatures and every kind of weather conditions
  • 2-3 bibs / riding shorts
  • 2-3 team jerseys (You and your partner have to wear matching cycling jerseys each day)
  • Wind breaker and / or rain jacket
  • Gloves
  • Cuffs and leg warmers (In case of adverse conditions)
  • Several pairs of socks

 

While we hope you mostly moderate weather conditions, it is vital to be prepared for a variety of temperatures, ranging between 16° to 24° Celsius. Pack rain and cold gear accordingly, as the weather can change quickly.

Day Bag

  • Spare socks
  • Rain jacket 
  • Special food or drinks

Other Clothing

  • Long pants
  • Track pants
  • Shorts
  • T-Shirts
  • Hoodie
  • Warm jacket
  • Rain jacket
  • Shoes (1x pair of casual shoes, 1x pair of slippers)
  • Underwear
  • Swimwear
  • Cap

Extras

  • Personal medical kit
  • Sunscreen
  • Ear Plugs
  • Bike lock (To safely store your bike between stages outside our bike park if you need it)
  • Charging cables
  • Hand laundry detergent
  • Credit card
  • Cash
  • SIM card

Keep in mind

  • Do you have a valid identification card or passport?
  • Do you need a visa?
  • Do you have a travel / cancellation insurance?
  • Do you have a health insurance?
  • Do you have a medical aid, rescue and transport insurance?

Why can a training plan help?

Designing a good training plan and scheduling sufficient rest are the two most important factors when it comes to cycling improvements. Athletes, top-level or amateur, find a grand portion of motivation for hard work and success inside (intrinsic motivation). There is no training plan hard enough or pain deep enough to stop our motivation. We would cope with just about anything in our desire for progress. But this type of motivation can get us in trouble on our path to the desired level of fitness. With that motivation in our training routine, we quickly end up with a hard training session when we should have done as easy one followed by another hard day… You know where that will lead.

That kind of unstructured and unwise combination of training loads is not effective, it is a waste of our precious time and just not smart. Athletes trapped in that kind of a vicious circle make progress in the beginning but soon end up on the same fitness level with lots of plateaus and fatigue issues.

A good training plan

A good training plan is bases on an analysis of the current condition, pointing out weaknesses, structuring training load and rest and that brings us to making progress. All that is left to do is to train in line with that plan, follow instructions and employ good recovery strategies that will prevent injuries and possible illness that can be a step back in achieving our goals.

It is the coach’s task to make a training plan, analyse its execution and adjust the plan in case of unexpected events. What is most important is the coach’s objective, non-emotionally driven perspective on the entire process. That is a huge difference and advantage in comparison to self-coached athletes.

I can assure you it is worth giving a coach a chance to change your training, from my own twenty-year long experience as a self-coached athlete. Every year I wanted someone to revise my training objectively and make decisions on how to proceed, as I was always over motivated and subjective towards myself, self-pressed with my goals and dreams of good results and prone to over-training in that motivation.
