Rolling out from Golbasi lakeside at 08:00, the group clears the short ramp out of the city and then settles onto the long, open roads of the Polatli plain. Total climbing stays at 480 m; flat as it is, wind and distance put the ride in the intermediate class.
The plan is to work in 30 km blocks of rotating paceline. Through the exposed sections the group will tighten up to save energy, with two short water stops scheduled.
Riders are expected to carry at least two bottles and a mid-ride snack. Estimated return is 13:30.
