Course details | All Categories
Part 1 — Linguaglossa to the turn: you ride this once, at the very start.
Part 2 — The turn to the top, x8 (in case of Full Everestings): this is the climb itself. You’ll ride it up and down eight times to hit the full 1,085 metres.
Once you’re at the turn, you stay up there — the route doesn’t bring you back down to Linguaglossa. That’s why the GPX file comes in two parts: one for the ride out to the turn, and one for the repeats above it.
