COURSE DETAILS:
U/9 – U13 – Do not enter this race – please enter the separate listing for the Cygnet Cycling Festival.
U/15 – one lap of the ‘Big Lap; described below (32km).
U/17 – Will ride in the full course with the seniors.
Seniors course 2 major climbs, 16km of gravel and one fast finish! The route takes you out Cygnet, up the first 3.7km climb with a gentle average gradient of 2.9%. Don’t let the average gradient fool you, in a race setting, this climb is perfect for an early attack.
Riders will enjoy a brief and quick descent before turning left onto a closed Cygnet Coast rd. In the middle of this ‘big lap’, is an 8km gravel section where your bike handling abilities will be put to the test. If you’re in a big group, you’ll want to be switched on.
Once back in Cygnet, riders will begin the second ‘small loop’, taking a left hand turn up Wattle Grove rd. This 4km, 5.6% hill is sure to break up the groups and differentiate the climbers from the sprinters.
The final 20km back to Cygnet will be a test to see whether those off the front can hold on or whether the power of the bigger riders on the flat can chase the climbers down.
