This course features a fast, flat out-and-back route through the Shillapoo South area of southwest Washington. With minimal elevation gain and smooth, open roads, it’s designed for sustained speed and consistent pacing.
Long straight sections reward strong power output and aerodynamic efficiency, making this an ideal course for time-trial racing and personal bests. Riders should be prepared for wind exposure, which can play a strategic role—especially on the return leg.
Overall, this is a pure speed course that favors fitness, focus, and pacing over climbing ability.
