Route Description
Route profile by ZwiftHub – the place to plan and track your route achievements!
This route was designed to hit three different segments which test your sprint, VO2, and threshold power:
- Sprint: Watopia Sprint Forward
- VO2: Titans Grove Reverse KOM
- Threshold: Volcano KOM
Beginning at the Fuego Flats start pens, we travel south and turn left into Titans Grove for a twisty, rollercoaster warmup before beginning the first timed segment of the ride: the Titans Grove Reverse KOM!
Catch your breath as you descend down to the misty valley of the dinosaurs, then climb out of Titans Grove and take the Ocean Boulevard tube over to the Fishing Village. As you hit the Italian Villas you’ll want to ramp up your wattage, because the sprint segment is just up the road! This is a longer sprint, and it begins just before you enter the short tunnel. Give it all you’ve got, then recover over The Esses and through the glass bridge to the Volcano.
Your final challenge is the Volcano KOM – a corkscrewing climb to the top of the steaming mass of rock. Go go go! The route officially ends atop the KOM, but you’ve earned the right to get a few extra kilometers in by spinning those legs out while you descend afterward.
