Volcano Flat is a smooth, quick course that loops around Watopias impressive volcanic landscape. The flat terrain lets riders focus on speed, with some slight elevation around the volcano adding just a hint of resistance. The route is both fast and scenic, making it a favorite for high-speed group rides.
Sprinters have a clear advantage here, but rouleurs may try to stir things up on the slight gradients around the volcano. The critical part of this route is the final sprint, with attacks expected from strong sprinters who can time their effort perfectly. Those who save their legs for the end will likely have the edge.
