Tides and Temples takes riders along scenic coastal roads before delving into the jungle, with rolling terrain that keeps things interesting. Riders will enjoy a mix of beachfront views and ancient ruins, making it a visually stunning route that also offers a few climbing challenges.
The rolling jungle section offers punchy riders and climbers a chance to test their strength, with potential attacks on each incline. Rouleurs might try to keep the group together on the flats, but the short climbs provide ideal launching points for riders with a strong, short-burst effort. Timing will be critical, as the winner is likely to be someone who can handle repeated efforts across the varied terrain.
