[FAQ] Openers & Priming Workouts, Prior to Race Day

What do you think would be a good opener for a day like this: [image] It’s not an event or anything, it’s more a day on the bike where I try to get some climbing in. I think the longest climb took me 6 minutes last year (hope to be quicker this year), but usually repeat the different climbs a couple of times so not too much rest in between.

Some people in that thread are talking about doing sweet spot for a lot longer than I think makes sense for me before 200km. I might try riding basin-5. I usually just ride Taku though.
