Route Description
Route profile by ZwiftHub – the place to plan and track your route achievements!
We begin with a lead-in from downtown Watopia which takes you around half of the Volcano Circuit in a counterclockwise direction, then turning right into Jarvis Island. (The actual loopable route begins and ends here on Jarvis at the lap arch.)
From the lap arch, you’ll travel counterclockwise around Jarvis Island, climbing the Jarvis KOM which includes the Banjo Cafe and ends at the ride-thru tree. After a short descent down the other side, you can hit the Jarvis Sprint at speed if you keep your power high!
At the intersection with its Jarvis+Scotty statue you’ll turn right toward the Volcano, then head up the mountain for the route’s key climb, the Volcano KOM!
Get to the top and you’ll loop around then descend the same road you just climbed, before returning to Jarvis Island and finishing at the lap arch.
