This route is quite flat, with the only climbs being very short. So aero rules the day! Get the most slippery frame and wheels you can afford.

You’ll begin near the Yumezi start pens located between the Fishing Village and Village Onsen. Then it’s a downhill trip through Village Onsen and into the first of three sprints on this route: the Country Sprint.
Finish up this Yumezi section on the farmland flats, then go through the Yumezi tunnel to Neokyo’s permanent darkness. Here you’ll hit another sprint, the Tower Sprint Reverse, before making your way along the Canal and Neokyo Harbor and into the Alley Sprint.
Then it’s time to make your way back to Yumezi! You’ll travel through the Neo Arcade first, then back through Yumezi Tunnel and into the sunlight, where you’ll turn right at the fork and head toward the Castle Area. Climb up toward the Castle, go through the merchant district, then head across to the Fishing Village and your virtual start/finish banner.
Wandering flats is going to be a good TTT course.
Hey Temps, this aged pretty well didn’t it? Looking forward to the ZRL TTT tomorrow!
That climb at the end sure came as a surprise to me on a “pan-flat” course!
Great video! Would love to know the location and length of sprints…thanks
Would be nice if Zwift would better show the sprints. They’re sometimes hard to see with a big group. Like meters to start of sprint signs like they have in pro races.
