Siete Picos

Madrid 7 Picos is a two-stage event: the first ~160 km with ~2,870 m of climbing; the second easier at 66 km and ~1,240 m. Stage one features passes like Morcuera, Canencia, Cardoso and La Hiruela, several chained within just 30 km. Training should focus on long days with intense elevation, successive climbs and learning to pace each section to maintain power across two consecutive days.
