Preparing for a Gran Fondo cycling event often feels like a gamble, a lucky dip of sorts. However, with the support of training partner FulGaz and their free trial offering, the uncertainty has been greatly diminished! Combining real life video with your indoor smart trainer, FulGaz features more than 1,500 real-world routes from around the globe. Favourites include such iconic places as The Muur, Alpe d’Huez and the Stelvio Pass along with many of the world’s most famous climbs and rides.
Enter the Classics series Gran Fondo events – Snowy, Mudgee, Noosa, and Bowral – in collaboration with FulGaz, an Australian-based training platform. A dynamic partnership that empowers riders to train, equip, and virtually explore the routes of their forthcoming Classics adventure
So how does it feel to be training for a Fondo from home? We downloaded FulGaz, connected the app to the smart trainer, and went for a spin. Here are our thoughts –
‘Today, while enjoying the privilege of working home, I took some time out to ride part of the Bowral Classic’s Maxi Classic course. Yes, a ride through the Southern Highlands, complete with a stunning sunrise, all without leaving the home office. A virtual trip to Bowral – or any smart trainer based session for that matter – will never beat or replace the real thing. But it was a fascinating and memorable experience and one I highly recommend.”
