Volcano Climb After Party is a mostly flat route with a big finish on the Volcano Climb, giving riders an intense finale after a quick-paced ride. The course starts with flats to lure riders into a fast tempo, then hits them with a punchy climb at the end.
The Volcano Climb is where climbers will attack, using the elevation to break away from sprinters and rouleurs. The flat opening section means the group will likely stay together until the climb, with climbers biding their time. The final push up the Volcano rewards those with a powerful finish on the ascent.
