Ride it at home
Pair a smart trainer and ride this route from home. The resistance follows the climbs, the dot moves at your speed, and the park's warnings pop up as you reach them.
This browser can't connect to a trainer. Open this page in Chrome or Edge on a computer or an Android phone, or download the course for your bike computer.
Difficulty sets how steep the climbs feel on the trainer: 100% is the real grade. Your speed on the map always uses the real grade and your weight.
