GFNY Colonia
GFNY Uruguay - Colonia presents two distance options: a long route of 153.2 km and 781 m elevation and a non-competitive medium route of 87.2 km with 670m elevation. The topography does not impose decisive climbs, forecasting a compact peloton through a good part of the race, and a fast race. The usual winds of the Uruguayan coastline may be of key importance on the outcome.
Both courses share the first 45 Km through olive groves, vineyards and cattle country. It's the generous, natural environment of the Uruguay River's East bank, home of several iconic landmarks of the historic heritage of European settlers that set forth the very best dairy production of the region.
Riders will have Aid Stations along the routes, with water, isotonic beverages, fruit, cereal bars, energetic gel, etc.
Medical Assistance
Light technical support: shift adjustement, inner tube replacement, CO2 bottles, etc. In case of necessary parts replacement, the rider will be charged for parts only.
Portable toilets.
Waste baskets.
GFNY URUGUAY will set information signs along both routes, such as: distance to Aid Stations, KMs past and to-go, potential hazards, special attention spots & crossroads.
