The first edition of the Tour des Stations Ultimate, a new ultracycling event in the Swiss Alps, will take place from August 1 to 5, 2023. Two distances are proposed: 555 and 1000 kilometers. I will participate in the latter… wish me luck.
To meet this challenge successfully, you have to be well prepared. And that doesn’t just mean physical training: you also need to choose the right equipment, get your nutrition dialed and have the right position on your bike.
I had the pleasure of hosting a series of videos on these subjects, with the support of R&D Cycling, organiser of the Tour des Stations Ultimate. You can watch them below (turn on captions for English subtitles):
