Island Outskirts is a loop around the edge of Makuris islands, providing a mix of flat and rolling sections with scenic ocean views and open spaces. This course has just enough variation to keep riders alert, making it great for group rides and training.
The rolling sections may see some attacks from rouleurs looking to disrupt the pace, but sprinters can hold tight for the flat sections. Rouleurs will likely try to control the pace, but the final result may come down to a sprint if no one can get away. Expect a tactical sprint finish favoring those with a strong, sustained effort.
