Route Description

The route begins at a large stone arch located 4.1km from the start pens, but free riders will spawn just before the arch.
Once you’re through the start arch you’ll decend the dirt a bit before turning right onto the Mayan Bridge road. This twisty cutoff road is a mixture of dirt, stone, and wood, and takes you across the river to the other side of the Jungle Circuit.
Turn right at the end of the cutoff and you’re back on the Jungle Circuit, riding uphill. Wave to the sloth, cross the rope bridge, and descend to the stone arch/start finish. All done!
