Dead-flat causeway between islands. The national TT course β pure wattage, nowhere to hide.
Dead-flat causeway between islands and the national TT course. Pure wattage. There is nowhere to hide and nothing to hide behind.
Start at the Hithadhoo causeway gate. Get up to speed before the timing point at 400 m β the clock does not care about your warm-up.
β 4.0 kmFirst 8 km is dead flat, dead straight, and fully exposed. Cross-wind from the south-east the whole way.
β 8.0 kmBridge section at 8.4 km β the only 18 m of elevation on the entire route. Do not sit up.
β 12.0 kmThe 10 km to 20 km stretch is the honest part. No shelter, no corners, no excuses. Hold your number.
β 16.0 kmFeni Bridge at 21 km narrows to a single lane. Traffic is light, but it exists; hold your line.
β 20.0 kmFrom 24 km the wind swings behind you. This is where you spend everything you have been saving.
β 24.0 kmFinal 3 km into Gan with a slight tailwind. National TT record here is 42:18. Yours will not be.
β 28.0 kmRoll down past the airport perimeter to the finish board. Turn around and ride it back β into the wind, for character.
β 32.0 km
