Accelerate to Elevate is a short but punchy route that takes riders through the Watopia Flat Route, adding a challenging incline towards the end to test your legs. While most of the route is fairly level, that final climb is sure to make you rethink your pacing strategy. Riders zip through lush green sections and scenic oceanside views, with just enough flat to let you catch your breath before the incline looms large.

The critical moment on this route is the climb near the end, where attackers will likely make a breakaway. Sprinters should save energy for a powerful push here, but climbers and punchy riders will likely dominate if they can get away early on the incline. Expect attempts to set up an attack before the climb begins, with climbers looking to drop the pack and solo to the finish if possible.
