If you are faced with doing an event and cannot ride the course, do any of you have a method for estimating how much work you will need to do to finish?
Gran fondos tend to me equivalent to a Tour or Giro mountain stage, so you could go by pro data, correct (it will just take me much longer to do that work).
For ultra events, I wonder how you figure the endurance required using kjoules for a 200 mile ride with 16,000 feet of climbing, for example.
Any thoughts/theories?
