Wahooligan Route: On Location Catalunya: Girona - Púbol
Starting from the famous Pont de Pedra in this cycling Mecca, Mike will make sure you challenge yourselves on one of the most popular climbs in the region (and one that many a pro has tested their form on over the years). At 11km in length, the climb of Els-Angels offers the perfect platform for a solid session, so after we’ve warmed up our legs and the road starts to rise we’ll hit the early slopes at around 80% of FTP and slowly build towards threshold by the summit. That will take about around 30 minutes and you’ll take a moment to catch your breath on the decent before rounding out this 25km day with 3 x 60-second high cadence drills on the way over to Púbol.
Suferlandrian Route:Power Station
On the surface, this seems like a rather tame session: a series of intervals that are all under five minutes and which are almost all under threshold. But there is more here than the power file shows. The lack of obvious intensity in these short intervals is made up for by the very low cadence targets each effort requires. This creates minimal cardiovascular stress but places a tremendous load on your muscular system. The goal is to keep your upper body absolutely rock solid during these efforts. If you find that you bob back and forth for each pedal stroke, then your core is not up to the task your legs are giving it (better get onto our yoga videos and strengthen that core).
Remember, you have 50 hours to complete each stage. As long as it’s still today’s date anywhere on earth, you’re golden. Check out the Tour Challenge Page for details on stage open and close times.

option naturally, so eventually the fatigue is going to build. Only issue tonight was throbbing legs, I was on the sofa, with a cat sleeping on my feet, my legs twitched and whacked him in the head. He seemed pretty unfussed by it, as cats always do. 
I always forgot which session has it. I fell so many times at the trap lol
(and whatever that other one is 
)
