Route Description
The Knickerbocker route begins on the ground-level roads of Central Park. Rolling, but without any climbs that are particularly steep or longer than a minute of effort. We do recommend watching out for the twisty Harlem Hill on the northern part of the course, if you’re in a race – this is where the first attacks will happen.
Just after hitting the NYC Sprint Reverse the pavement turns to glass, as the road pitches upward, and this is where the real work begins. It’s time to climb the NYC KOM Forward! This is by far the biggest climb and most selective feature on the route, and you’ll hit it a total of three times.
After descending back to ground-level roads riders will head to the northern Harlem Hill area once more, descending Harlem Hill then climbing for another short effort before heading back to the lap banner.
Watch for the quick rise of Cat’s Paw Hill heading into the lap banner, then take a deep breath. That’s one lap. You’ve got 1.5 left!
Your finish line is atop the NYC KOM Forward on your third time up. Best of luck!
