Route Description
Events on this course begin from the Prospect Park start pens, traveling CCW in the park and completing almost a full lap before turning right to enter Grand Army Plaza and begin heading toward Manhattan.
Descend Flatbush Avenue, then enter the subway and hit the 5-second Power Segment before climbing out and riding across the Manhattan Bridge, which has a sprint of its own. Then descend the other side and enter your next subway, the City Hall Station, which hosts 10-second Power Segments in both directions.
Nearing the route turnaround point, you’ll climb out of the subway and onto Times Square’s glass roads for what is almost a full lap of the reverse circuit. (You just miss a bit of the start, which means you can’t compete for the orange leader’s jersey!)
Now it’s time to head back the way we came. Through City Hall Station for another Power Segment, then across the East River (via the Brooklyn Bridge this time) and into your last subway for your longest Power Segment on the day (20 seconds) before climbing up Flatbush and finishing out that Prospect Park lap. You did it!
Overall I’m enjoying the new routes. The bridge climbs are not so steep but hard enough for a proper test. There’s a lot of subway action which I’m not too sure about but hey ho.
I really like the fresh New York routes. They provide lots of interesting things to see while looking around on a ride. Dogs, lots of dogs, yay! The advertisements and murals are colorful and interesting too. I’m a big fan of City Hall subway station. A nice vintage touch amongst all the other futuristic scenes of 2081 New York.
NY is my least favorite “main” world. These roads don’t change that. I wish this kind of effort was put into one of the real world and currently underdeveloped worlds instead of odd graffiti subways.
All these routes seem exactly the same while riding them. Already tired of them.
Yup, worst map ever. I absolutely despise it.
If you know one you know them all… and the exits of the underground are buggy, they push lighter riders to the front. My son has 40 kg and passes bigger sprinters at 8 W/kg by pushing just 4 W/kg.
Lighter riders would climb faster at lower effort. Change the frame and wheels if you’re worried about other riders.
I love this route and have used it for a group meet up a couple of times. Unfortunately there is a bug in the last quarter of the route. Everyone comes to a grinding halt and it takes a couple of goes to get going again. We ride with ‘keep everyone together’ and ‘meet up only view’
