“Mayan San Remo” Route Details (Watopia)
Winning the award for the best route name in recent Zwistory, “Mayan San Remo” is presumably titled as such because the route profile roughly matches the final kilometers of the famous Milan-San Remo classic. (Check out this Strava segment starting with the Cipressa descent and then climbing the Poggio before descending to the finish in San Remo.)

Route Description
Route profile by ZwiftHub – the place to plan and track your route achievements!
We begin from the Jungle start pens with a mostly-downhill beginning that takes us across the rope bridge and down dusty Jungle roads. But we don’t descend to the bottom of the Jungle quite yet – we hang a right onto the Mayan Bridge Cutoff which, once the bridge is crossed, presents us with our first opportunity for an attack as the road tilts upward!
Hit this climb hard, and soon enough you’ll turn left onto the main Jungle road once more to descend through the lap arch and turn right onto the southern coast road.
This flat road takes us to a left turn onto the biggest climb of the route. It’s actually two back-to-back KOM segments with just a bit of flatness in between: first the Mayan Mountainside KOM, then the Itza KOM. With a total of 6km of climb between the two, this is the route’s key section and the place where the largest selections will take place. (Tip: surf the wheels if you aren’t attacking, since these climbs are quite draftable!)
After the Itza KOM banner you’ll turn right onto a steep, straight descent to the bottom of The Grade. 1.3km of negative 9-10% means high speeds, so be sure to use the draft wisely.
From the bottom of The Grade it’s a flat road to the finish at the Acropolis Sprint banner. Time this right and bring a useful powerup, and you just may end up on the podium. Good luck!
