Filthy 50 Recon Ride #2

Build the Strength

Saturday, September 19, 2026

The second recon ride shifts our focus to the back half of the Filthy 50 course—home to the race's signature climbs and where smart pacing becomes even more important.

We'll spend 3+ hours riding some of the toughest sections of the course, learning how to climb efficiently, conserve energy, and build the strength endurance needed to finish strong. Along the way, I'll share coaching tips on pacing, body position, gear selection, and managing your effort so you can tackle the hills with confidence.

Whether you're preparing for the 30-mile or 50-mile event, this recon will help you build strength, improve efficiency, and develop a smarter approach to race day.
