The Eastern Eight combines scenic views with a steady mix of flats and gentle inclines, taking riders through Watopias desert and jungle regions. While not overly challenging, the route keeps you engaged with its varied terrain, allowing you to enjoy a little bit of everything, from cacti to palm trees.

This route is likely to favor rouleurs and strong all-rounders. While it doesnt have a climactic hill for a decisive attack, the rolling sections through the jungle provide opportunities for breakaways. Riders who can maintain a high tempo will find this route rewarding, with sprinters likely having to bide their time and make a final dash if theyre in the mix.
