Route Description
Beginning with a short lead-in at Times Square, you’ll ride through the Times Square Circuit arch then head south to the City Hall Station subway, where you can take on a 10-second Power Segment if you’d like. Then climb out of that subway and head over the East River via the Manhattan Bridge, which includes an uphill sprint to the bridge’s center.
Descend the other side’s corkscrew road and head into the Brooklyn subway, where a 5-second Power Segment awaits. Then climb up to Grand Army Plaza and enter Prospect Park, where you’ll do a quick clockwise circuit of the upper portion of the park before riding through the Plaza again to head back the way you came.
That means back into the Brooklyn Subway, over the Manhattan Bridge, into City Hall Station, and back to Times Square, where you’ll complete nearly a full circuit. Then it’s time to head south once more for the big finish!
After traveling through City Hall Station once again, you’ll hit the Brooklyn Bridge for a final KOM segment. The KOM arch is the finish line. Go go go!

Fixed!
Is this a loop? I don’t think so but wanted to check.
Nope.
That’s an interesting design, love the finish at the top of the bridge, will create very painful races.
Yes — it reminded me a bit of the Richmond finish: a short, gradual power climb which the sprinters can still win at, but without the preceding climbs.
I heard that on the radio! On Sirius/XM’s Lithium channel. It’s a Beastie Boys song. A catchy song, and an interesting ride here too. Are there any other routes named after songs? They were from Brooklyn apparently.
Tempus Fugit is a song by Yes. It is Latin for time flies.
