This is arguably the best selected bike route of all the HV Triathlon courses in the past. Very smooth road surfaces with a good amount of directional changing (if it’s windy race day it shouldn’t overwhelm you). I would consider this bike course to be reasonably fast overall with some climbing included around mile 10 with rolling hills from mile 10 to mile 19. Flat and fast the first 10 miles and the last 5.5 roughly.

I'd argue it the second year course I thought was by far the best.

Only catch with that course was the long stretch on Boonville road with the constant bumping between concrete sections. I'm pretty big on surface quality. Other than that the route was a blast.
