This course is predominantly paved road, accounting for 76% of the distance. 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. Descents are mainly on paved road (100% of descending sections).
