August Cycling Conditions & Training Strategy

August represents the peak of peak fitness. Having accumulated thousands of training miles over the spring and summer, endurance cyclists possess the strength and stamina to conquer the most demanding centuries on the continent. August is famous for prestigious climbing challenges, including alpine gran fondos in the Rockies, scenic coastal centuries in New England, and multi-pass epics in the Pacific Northwest. Early morning starts take full advantage of crisp dawn air before temperatures climb. Nutrition and cooling strategiesβ€”such as ice in water bottles and cold sponge aid stationsβ€”are signature features of late-summer century organization. With fitness at its absolute peak, August provides the perfect opportunity to chase a personal speed record or tackle that towering mountain century you have spent all season preparing for.
