Danger Noodle is a dynamic, undulating route designed for high-intensity racing. Starting in the Esses, it takes riders through Downtown Watopia before heading into the rolling terrain of Titans Grove. After a turnaround in the Grove, riders race back through the same rollers before finishing near the Downtown start point. Its a perfect mix of flats, rollers, and short climbs, making it challenging but exciting.
The critical parts of this course are the Titans Grove rollers, where punchy riders will seek to split the group. Attacks can also occur in the Esses, where quick transitions between climbs and descents can sap energy. Sprinters will want to hang on through the Grove and position for a sprint in the flat Downtown finish, but rouleurs and punchy climbers will aim to create decisive gaps before the final kilometers. Expect constant surges as riders try to gain an advantage over the rolling terrain.
