Ensure your racebike is ready for a consistent ride on paved surfaces.
This route is notable for its transition from urban landscapes to a more natural environment, all while staying on dedicated road cycling infrastructure.

This distinction is crucial for road cyclists planning their trip, ensuring you enjoy the intended experience without unexpected terrain.
