CARRETERA DEL COBRE

This mission originates in the vicinity of Pichilemu, Chile, and concludes near San Fernando. The intervening corridor traverses varied terrain, transitioning from coastal influence to inland valleys, characterized by significant elevation shifts. Technically, the route begins with a steady, moderate ascent, followed by a sustained period of grinding climbs punctuated by short, rapid descents. Speed sectors indicate a rhythm of pushing through uphill segments, interspersed with brief, high-tempo efforts on the downslope. Operators should anticipate a classic uphill battle with occasional brief respites.
