Route Description
The official route is simply a descent from the giant mythical tree atop the Temple KOM, then a short trip across to the start of the Temple KOM to climb it again.
But we start with a lead-in, since we spawn on the island just before the Fishing Village. Ride over the bridge, through the Village, then turn left onto the dirt and begin your climb. The lead-in ends atop the Temple KOM, so it’s a substantial startup effort!
I just did it and recorded 12.5 from my start
Total length = Route length + Lead-In. So in this case it’s 9 + 3.3 = 12.3k. Depending on your spawning location it could be 100-200m more.
It is not 9k, it is 12,5k! I don’t why there are several routes with wrong distance information 🙁
The lead in is not part of the route. It is 3.3km extra, in this instance …BEFORE the route begins. So, there is no way to avoid it. 😐
Imagine knowing how to use a computer and not being able to read.
fucking stupid lead in
Anyone else run into a bug with this where after the descent on the flat a corner is not taken and you end riding in the sky and off the map?
Yes, I had the same at that point.
