Ultra Cycling is a cylcing event that goes beyond what most cyclists do either in terms of distance and/or climbing.
To us, ultra cycle events are those that require more effort to complete than what most cyclists tackle. The human body does not perform in a linear fashion. Most marathon runners feel that the last 6.2 miles rquires as much effort as the first 20 miles. The same is true of ultra cycling events. As the miles increase and the climbing continues, the effort to complete the next part becomes increasingly more difficult.
For those fortunate enough to live in California, there are many ultra cycling events each year that are within driving distance. They occur most every month of the year and with the weather making it suitable to train year round, that is makes a lot of sense. See the list of events
To complete an ultra cycle event training is needed. If you are thinking about doing your first double century, or ride with significant climbing check out our training section.
