“One Ride To Rule Them All” Route Details (Watopia)
This one-way route finishes atop the Volcano, hence the nod to Tolkien in the name. But before you get there, you’ll need to complete a flat lead-in and two progressively bigger KOMs (Hilly Reverse and Titans Grove Reverse). Ride to meet your fortune, and good luck!

Route Description
Events begin in the Seafoam start pens, heading to the Lightning Lap arch, where the route officially begins. This is all part of a fairly flat lead-up to the climbs that will come soon!
After leaving the Wild Isles, you’ll head around the Volcano and over The Esses to take on the first and smallest climb of the day: the Hilly KOM Reverse. Crest the top, recover on the way down, then head out to Titans Grove to take on the next climb: Titans Grove KOM Reverse.
Then wind your way back to the Volcano via Ocean Boulevard and the Dirty Sorpressa. Just one obstacle left: the Volcano KOM! Push to the top, remember to use the draft if you’re racing, then go all in on the final steep bit for ultimate glory. Good luck!
May the wind under your wings bear you where the sun sails and the moon walks.
