Route Description
Beginning at the Mech Isle Start Pens, you’ll travel south for your lead-in to the Tidepool Sprint Reverse. This sprint’s arch is the official start/finish for the course.
From the start line, continue traveling clockwise, taking the inner, hillier road through Mangrove Maze, then onto flat roads across to Festival Harbor’s Boardwalk Sprint Reverse before crossing the bridge to Mech Isle.
Here you’ll stay right, heading up the backside of the famous Mech Isle Corkscrew climb. Very few routes travel in this direction, so this will be an unfamiliar climb to most. Descend the corkscrew, hit the Tidepool Sprint Reverse again, and our second lap begins!
This lap is similar to the first, but not identical. You’ll take the flatter outer road through Mangrove Maze, then hit the same flat roads to and through the Boardwalk Sprint Reverse.
When you arrive at Mech Isle this time, you’ll turn left and ride a complete clockwise lap of the Isle, including the corkscrew in the standard direction.
Ride another half lap of the Isle, then head down for a final go at the Tidepool Sprint Reverse. The arch is the finish line… go go go!
