WTRL #97 – Astoria Line 8
Course Notes – 3 Laps – 34.9km
Lumpy – that is all you need to know for this one. There are no real climbs as the route stays in the lower part of NY and not up in the glass roads, but there are at least a couple of places where a tired rider could get caught out later on. Plenty of notable gradient changes distance are below (possibly too many to really take in), based on a full course distance.
