Route Description
Route profile by ZwiftHub – the place to plan and track your route achievements!
This route begins in the coastal pens for events, or just outside Ciudad la Cumbre when free riding. Either way, you’ve got a solid lead-in before the actual loop begins, riding a total of 8km along the southern coast and up the Mayan Mountainside KOM to the start/finish banner!
From there you’ll continue on up the Itza KOM before turning left onto the twisty upper portion of The Grade, which is the steepest single section of climbing on this route. The climbing isn’t done once you finish this portion, though – you’ve still got to knock out the remainder of the Epic KOM!
Then you get a bit of a reprieve descending the backside of the Col du Zwift into the Mayan Jungle, where your descent continues, but in a more dusty fashion. A left onto the southern coast road at the bottom of the jungle, then another left onto the Mayan Mountainside KOM, and you’ve got just this one final climb segment left. Push it to the line, and when you ride through that banner you’ve finished your loop!
