ZWIFT – Ride it out with Castelli

During this difficult period, many of us are increasing our time spent training inside, either through choice or enforcement. In support of this challenging situation, Castelli is scheduling extra Zwift rides, together with an Instagram campaign, with the intent of showing solidarity whilst we ride it out, ‘together’. Taking place weekly every Tuesday at 19:25 (CET), ‘Ride It Out with Castelli’ rides are social in nature, on rolling courses, with the aim of getting riders together, supporting each other and having a chat along the way. We’re also giving away a little swag during the ride, with the Castelli Insider bib-shorts or jersey up for grabs. Ride pace: 2.6 – 2.8 w/kg on Flat sections 2.8 – 3.0 w/kg on Hills/Climbs Alongside Zwift rides, Castelli is also running a #RideItOut Instagram solidarity campaign, also with a chance of snagging some prizes. Simply post a video or photo story of you riding inside (or your pain-cave!), mention @CastelliCycling plus the #RideItOut hashtag. We’ll reshare a selection of stories on Castelli’s Instagram page and each week one lucky post will win a Castelli Insider jersey or bib short. Together, we can Ride It Out. #RideItOut #StayHome #IoRestoACasa #IoMiAllenoACasa

Two Iconic Giro Climbs

Two breathtaking climbs that overlook the Ladin valleys, Passo Sella and Passo Pordoi will witness the pros battle on the same roads in pursuit of the maglia rosa in the 2016 Giro d’Italia. PASSO PORDOI View Strava segment Length of climb: 9.2 km Starting elevation: 1,601 m (5,253 ft.) Final elevation: 2,239 m (7,345 ft.) Elevation gain: 638 m Average gradient: 6.9% Steepest gradient: 9% Total hairpins: 33 Times Giro d’Italia passed the Pordoi: 39 Gearing suggestion: 34×25 (minimum)   Located between the Gruppo del Sella and the high Marmolada group, the Pordoi pass is at an altitude of 2,239 m. Although the climb from Arabba is relatively short at just 9.2 km, with a constant gradient hovering between 6% and 9% and never tipping beyond double figures, the Pordoi has an enviably rich cycling heritage. First used in the 1940 Giro d’Italia, it has witnessed more race action than many of its peers put together, and a monument at the top is dedicated to the great Italian champion Fausto Coppi, who was the first to summit the Pordoi in the Giro no less than five times. On paper, this may look like an easy ride, but only until the ...
