Hi all, I decided to come back to draw some races for fun, because that's something I always enjoyed doing

TOUR OF KASHMIR: A mini Campeonato de los Andes but in the northwest Indian region, going through some of the highest mountain passes in the world. Literally breathtaking

Stage 1: Jammu - Ramban: Unexpected finish. Climbers with a good downhill can take the win in Ramban after going down the Patnitop Tourist station.


Stage 2: Banihal - Srinagar: After 26km of climbing and a downhill, the sprinters will fight for victory in the summer capital of Indian Kashmir.


Stage 3: Kargil - Saspochey: After two relatively hard climbs, climbers and punchers will fight for the win at the top of the small town of Saspochey, with the 3 final km's being in gravel. The best climbers can kick the punchers out of the stage discussion with two km's over 10% in the final km's of the stage. Final climb slopes: (8/3/5/7/7/10/14/2/-2/-5/3/7)


Stage 4: Shakti - Leh: The queen stage goes over the Shakti Pass before a high altitude valley that will lead to the climb to Khardung La, the highest motorable mountain pass in the world. The 30km climb (in reality it is longer, slopes start kicking in before the intermediate sprint in the town of Khardung) isn't the steepest, rarely going over 5%. But the height, consistency of the climb and the last 11km of the climb being in gravel will make it a tough challenge. The downhill to the finish in Leh is also in gravel and is steep enough to allow riders who dropped others to keep their advantage. Profile of Khardung La: 4/5/2/4/4/4/6/5/4/4/5/5/5/5/3/3/4/4/5/4/4/5/5/5/6/5/4/5/4/4.


Stage 5: Leh - Tso Kar: Despite the climb to Tanglang La, the second highest motorable pass in the world is not very steep (slopes between 2% and 5%), it will be enough to distance the weaker riders. However, the 20km's of flat after the downhill will make it extremely difficult for a climber to go for a solo win in the Tso Kar lake.

Portugal Everesting Challenge

I decided to do an Everesting Race. An Everesting is when you climb the height of the Everest (8848m) in accumulated elevation gain. It is a very demanding challenge and often takes a lot of hours in a bike. To do an Everesting route in Portugal in the least distance possible, I decided to draw the route in the Pico do Arieiro climb in Madeira. The first 5 climbs will be the first 14km of the climb, followed by a 6th one, to the top of the hardest climb in Portugal. Winning this race would be very prestigious for any climber.

Interesting challenge, even if that race is a bit hardcore a one day race in spring during RSF season :p
Also, quick question : do you know how to use/make a regular circuit on the editor ? Yours doesn't seem regular here. if you don't, you can send me a PM and I can help you with that
