RECOMMENDED ROUTES
AKUNA BAY, KU-RING-GAI CHASE, AUSTRALIA
A popular Australian tour through the national parks of Ku-ring-gai Chase and Akuna Bay. The 16-km ride features a very easy first part, giving way to a couple of climbs: 3 km, with grades of approximately 4%. A session that will give you a great workout. Thanks to Mrki for shooting this video.
A 29-km session starting and finishing in the US city of Boise, where you’ll face an intermediate-difficulty route on which you’ll climb about 500 m. Starting at km 8.5, on the Seamans Gulch road, you’ll tackle the most challenging section: just over 3 km, at a 5% grade. Pace yourself, because there are still a couple of climbs before the finish.
From the south of Spain, Javirojill shares this video route through the province of Cádiz. A fast 22-km ride with several short but demanding climbs, one of them just at the end. The maximum incline you’ll find in this session is 11.5%.
The Greek city of Sparta will be the starting point for this 27-km route. After doing a loop on quiet roads and returning to Sparta, you’ll head to the small town of Xirokampi, where you will end this easy session, racking up 270 m of slope.
Happy cycling!
