Route Description
Begin in Fuego Flats and travel clockwise, riding through the flat, fast desert before turning onto the new coastal road at the LAX roundabout in Saddle Springs.
Enjoy the coastal views and hit four sprints as you travel through Googie Springs, the Evergreen Coast, Ciudad La Cumbre, and Sandy Coast. Then it’s into the Mayan Jungle for a dusty climb up and out before descending past the Spruce Goose and into the Fishing Village.
From here, you’ll ride through the Italian Villas, onto the Volcano land bridge, around the Volcano, and into Watopia downtown.
All that’s left now is a quick climb back to the start line at Fuego Flats, where the route ends at the desert arch. You did it!
