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\u2019Huez and the Stelvio Pass along with many of the world\u2019s most famous climbs and rides.<\/p>\n<p>Enter the Classics series Gran Fondo events \u2013 Snowy, Mudgee, Noosa, and Bowral \u2013 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<\/p>\n<p>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 \u2013<\/p>\n<p><em>\u2018Today, while enjoying the privilege of working home, I took some time out to ride part of the Bowral Classic\u2019s 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 \u2013 or any smart trainer based session for that matter \u2013 will never beat or replace the real thing. But it was a fascinating and memorable experience and one I highly recommend.&#8221;<\/em><br \/>\n&#8211; Nat Bromhead, editor of Bicycling Australia.<\/p>\n<p><strong><em>To celebrate the partnership, FulGaz is offering Classics riders an extended 30-day free trial to help kickstart their training.
