Riders begin in the Neokyo Harbor start pens, heading straight through the market to the Alley Sprint. Then it’s across to the Tower Sprint before a loop around to head into Pain Cavern on our way to Urukazi.
We still aren’t sure how the harbor in Neokyo is ~55 meters higher in elevation than Urukazi’s Festival Harbor when both are on the same ocean… but this is virtual cycling, and cyclists never complain about downhills.
The long descent through Pain Cavern (don’t worry, it’s only painful in the other direction) brings us to Urukazi, where we’ll cross a small land bridge to Mech Isle on our way to the one climb on this route. This climb is a punchy little dirt corkscrew where you’ll need to push hard to hold onto the front of the race!
You’ll descend straight down the other side of the corkscrew, then it’s a flat ride to the finish at the Boardwalk Sprint arch.
