This route starts just like Makuri 40, but turns right on the dirt road to Neokyo Tunnel, taking you down the connector canyon road instead of toward Neokyo. This twisty descent isn’t steep, but the scenery is eye-popping as you fly past!
Once you reach Urukazi you’ll turn right toward Mech Isle to make a counter-clockwise loop of the island complex. First you’ll hit Mech Isle, taking a right at the fork so you avoid the main climb and stay on the pavement. Take the bridge across to Festival Harbor and you’ll hit the main climb of this route, which twists its way up to the Shisa Sprint.
Catch your breath at the top, take in the beautiful view to your left, then descend back to the boardwalk for a quick ride along the beach and through Mangrove Maze and the Tidepool Sprint before jumping back onto the connector canyon ride to climb up and out to Yumezi’s countryside.
Once you’re back in Yumezi it’s a flat lead-in to the final ~700m of the route, which is all uphill. If you’re in a race, this is where you empty the tank!
