Route Description
Route profile by ZwiftHub – the place to plan and track your route achievements!
This route begins at the Mech Isle start pens and winds its way along Mech Isle’s paved shoreline before crossing the bridge to the big island. Crossing the boardwalk you will hit the Boardwalk Sprint. The official Bridges and Boardwalk circuit begins (and ends) at this sprint banner.
From the colorful Festival Harbor boardwalk, wind your way upwards on the route’s big climb through a bamboo forest to the Shisa Sprint Reverse, which is on a false flat in this direction.
The boardwalk here offers the best view available of the Urukazi island complex, so if you have a moment, look to the right! On your left you’ll see cliffside homes, with the twin shisa towering above and protecting Urukazi.
Not long after finishing the Shisa Sprint, the road will tilt down and you’ll descend to near sea level, returning to the Boardwalk Sprint and the circuit’s finish line.
