Hmm, I think I will make my own variant, as I am awful at following real routes anyway, hope you don't mind, and as Jesleyh said, the 2013 version is probably around somewhere... |

Hi there The hobbit, I have a couple requests, don't know if you'd want to take them. but you can choose.
This is a Belgian - international race.
first I'd like to start with a time trial: 25km, the wind isn't not really an advantage in this stage... (Eeklo - Brugge)
Seocnd I would like some hilly races: races, somehting in the genre of liège-bastogne-liège and the fleche wallone.
So then we go to Switzerland, where there is a not sooooo hard mountainstage. Then Italy where we get a milaan-san remo race (so long, a bit hard, but still a sprint finish, then we go through the mountains of south France.and so on to the Pyrenees. where we pick up about a couple stages before going to Paris. From Paris it is one more sprint stage back to Eeklo.
If you don't want this race, ok, then how about an 7-8 stagerace competing with Paris-Nice and Tirreno Adriatico as a preparation race for the classics through Belgium with cobbles and hills.
Or maybe both, whe you are up to it, let me know! GrTz |

First one is medium to grand tour, so 15 - 21 (your choice)
Second one 7 - 8 stages.
GrTz & Thanks |

Ok, added to my list. It'll take a while, as I'm currently working on some other stuff, and a grand tour might take a week or so to make. |

My opinion is that if somebody does something for you just for fun, you should give that person the time he needs. With other words: take your time :-)
Btw if interested (and to keep things as realistic as possible) I'd like the second stage (so the one after the 25k ITT) to be a bit (or alot) cobbled. If you think that would be a bit too much then only hilly it is.

Amgen Tour of California
Here is my variant...
Download
A quick prologue through the streets of San Diego and over the bridge.
We head out of San Diego and into the surrounding hills, before a quick descent to the line.
We head North to LA, then out across the hills before a long flat run in.
Almost pan flat, but a false flat finish, you'll need a lot of power rather than outright speed here.
Mostly flat, but the finish isn't! A ridiculously steep and long slope will kill all but the best men's GC ambitions.
Again, what is there to say, it's about as flat as flat can be, and short, so all out speed is the only factor.
It looks like a hilly stage, but it's really an exceptionally hard ITT, 56 km of all out pain, then a 10% climb, this could make or break someone's GC ambitions.
No, it's not just a repeat of stage 4, this climb is even longer, if less steep! And it comes after 8 hard days, to really decide things.
Some screens (a few others are lost, dunno how). Not sure why they're so small...

You shouldn't copy them immediately after uploading, but copy the links from a new page/tab that opens after you click the image

IK, already fixed one, just seeing if there's an easier solution so I don't have to type [img] every time. IK, I'm so lazy. |
