In reply to Tante Lotte. 100% tarmac. Slippery means aero. The climb is not steep so there's usually a lot of draft available when people are going hard.

“Get the most slippery frame and wheels you can afford!” – What is a slippery frame? Is this track mostly tarmac or gravel?

Hi.

I wish you would state on all the routes’ s uphill sections not just the average gradient, but the maximum gradient as well.
like right now in the early season I am looking for hills (to gain a good speed going uphill)
which will not go over 5-6%!
But how can I find some, most of them goes up 8-9-13% which you would not know from the average gradient!
any suggestions?
Can you add the max gradients as well?
thank you for listening, reading!
Gabor

Do I just do the sand and sequoias route or is there an event I have to join?

In reply to Carol. On the page prior to this one that shows all the routes, go to the top right side of the page. There is a place to "schedule your ride". Choose the ride you want--A,B,C etc and it will walk you through the rest.

This is a great course. The beginning, in the desert Fuego Flats reminds me of the American Southwest. Then the portions through the Sequoias reminds me of rides I have taken in Carmel and Monterey, through the Del Monte forest. Need a a good musical background to fully enjoy, maybe start with Sting’s Desert Rose.

In reply to Sinan Avci.

I'd stick the the tron bike. The climb is no where substantial enough to make a difference, especially during a race.
