Ride and Enjoy:
Beginner Plan
Welcome to your Cape to Cape: Ride & Enjoy Plan - a simple, supportive training guide to help you get to the finish line feeling good and having fun.
This plan is designed for riders who aren’t chasing a podium, but do want to enjoy the event, ride with confidence, and avoid feeling wrecked halfway through. With just 2–3 rides per week and a focus on consistency, trail time, and steady progress, you’ll be ready to take on all four days at your own pace - and actually enjoy the journey to Margaret River.
Ride your Best:
Intermediate Plan
Welcome to your structured training plan for the Cape to Cape-a race that’s as much about preparation as it is performance. This structured training plan is built for riders who want to feel strong and well-prepared across all four days of the Cape to Cape. Whether you're chasing a personal best or aiming to sit comfortably mid-pack, this plan gives you the consistency, purpose, and MTB-specific guidance to ride with confidence — and finish proud.
Cape to Cape Nutrition Plan
When it comes to race day nutrition there really are no shortcuts. Skill up on what your nutrition goals should be and use your long training sessions to practice your race day nutrition plan, remembering you can train your gut to accept higher nutrition loads. If you plan to use aid station supplies practice with these brands in training so there are no surprises on race day and you can get the most out of your nutrition.
