Terrain & Elevation

The course covers a genuine mix of surfaces, with paved road (36%) and gravel (28%) being the most common and neither clearly dominating. The terrain is highly fragmented, switching roughly every kilometre. This demands constant mental engagement and limits the ability to build a sustained rhythm from surface consistency alone. Uphills are predominantly on paved road (60% of ascending sections). Descents cover a variety of surfaces with no single terrain type dominating.
