Route Description
Route profile by ZwiftHub – the place to plan and track your route achievements!
Racers will have to keep their eyes open and legs primed in Glasgow, because it’s never flat. Be especially wary of The Clyde Kicker; it is the route’s main climb, named for the river running through the city and the bridge you can see as you summit the climb.
And watch for that final Champion’s Sprint, where racers will put it all on the line for glory!
If you’re not racing, take some time to look for famous Glasgow sights like the Finnieston Crane, Central Station, Clyde Arc bridge, and an equestrian statue which may or may not be crowned with a traffic cone.
Equestrian statue with traffic cone?? It’s the Duke of Wellington no less 😃
There is a third power-up location in addition to the climb and sprint. Riding clock-wise, after you pass under the Central Station and before heading into the climb, there is an unmarked power-up loaction.
