The indieVelo "Little Loops" Route-8.7 km (5.4 mi.), elevation 53 meters (174 feet)-the course commences and concludes at the velodrome.
Route Description
Little Loops is among the quartet of routes that debuted on indieVelo in the v0.2.14 update on September 11th, 2023, alongside Mountain Top View, Northern Hill Climb, and So Near Yet So Far.
Little Loops stands out as a relatively short course, spanning 8.7 kilometers (5.4 miles) in length and featuring a mere 53 meters (174 feet) of elevation gain. This route commences and concludes at the velodrome.
The primary challenge on this route arises approximately one kilometer (0.62 miles) before the finish line, specifically at KM 7.5 (4.66 miles). It entails a brief climb with a gradient of 4%, covering less than a kilometer in distance, ultimately leading to the velodrome. They don’t dub it “Little Loops” for nothin’!
Thanks, Luciano!
