Route Description
Route profile by ZwiftHub – the place to plan and track your route achievements!
The route begins from the downtown Watopia start pier, quickly heading up the Hilly KOM. But riders will turn right halfway up the KOM, taking the bypass road which drops them onto the bottom of the KOM Reverse descent past the statues.
Take another right onto the bypass road that delivers you onto the JWB Bridge, then kick up the short ramp into The Esses before heading over to the Volcano.
This corkscrew effort to the top of the smoky Volcano is the biggest climb of the route, but riders may also be keeping a bit in reserve, knowing this route ends with an uphill finish.
Spin those legs out and enjoy the descent from the Volcano, then you head back through downtown Watopia and up the full Hilly KOM for the final effort. Allez allez!
