Route Description
Starting from the Caldera start pens, we travel in the reverse direction for that circuit, finishing the lead-in at the Caldera lap arch.
From the arch, you’ll continue around the Caldera circuit, covering all the roads in the circuit but not actually completing an official lap due to where you enter and exit the circuit.
Hang a left onto the connector road to the Lightning Lap circuit, ride through that lap arch, and complete a full Lightning Lap in the clockwise direction. This is the only leaderboard segment on this route, so make it count if you want to grab a leader’s jersey!
After finishing that Lightning Lap, you’ll continue south across the connector road to the Seafoam Circuit area. You’ll ride all the roads in this circuit as well, this time in a forward direction, then hang a left back onto the connector road to the Lightning Lap.
Now it’s a straight shot home! Through the Lightning Lap arch, onto the Caldera, and through that arch for the finish.
(This arch is also our finish line)
