Route Description

One of the eighteen original Beta routes rolled out on The Island in 2023, South Lake Loop is a flat 2.6km/1.62 mi. and 15m/49 ft. elevation gain counter-clockwise journey of South Lake with a very small 250m bump at 3% in the last part of the course.

Nothing more, nothing less. If you fancy a calm ride without surprises, this is your place.

Thanks, Luciano!
