Bike Selection
Go with an all-arounder road bike setup since there’s so much pavement. Be confident that even if the MTB or Gravel riders drop you on the dirt climb, you’ll be able to claw them back on the long paved descent to the finish line.
Route Description
Route profile by ZwiftHub – the place to plan and track your route achievements!
This route breaks up nicely into 5 sections of roughly equal length: the flat start, the Castle KOM, the Temple KOM, the Temple KOM descent, and the paved descent. We begin with a short, flat warmup from the Country Sprint arch. Enjoy it while you’ve got it, because the climbing begins 2km in! 
Our first climb is the Castle KOM, which ends in the Castle area. Then you leave the Castle and hit the dirt singletrack to take on the Temple KOM, which ends at the giant mystical tree. 
Once you ride through the three, you’ll descend the backside of the KOM, which spits you out onto a paved road near the fishing village. This paved road continues to descent essentially all the way back to the Country Sprint arch. Are you ready to do it again?
