# Route

The initial run into @point[Poeng Yaeng](d,26879.49) is rather pedestrian.   Ensure you fuel up as you ride through the village. The climb starts rather abruptly rising up to around 1100m, circling past @photo[view points](1534100), before dropping back down again.

After the initial desent, comes a @slice[second, short climb](d,40853.73,42501.68) of 1.6 km.  Next comes the interesting part, @slice[the 7 Spires climb](d,47823.53,50520.99), hitting 16% in the switchbacks on legs that have just had enough time to stiffen up from the descent!

***Ensure you keep an eye on your speed on the first and second descent. There is always the possibility of a stray dog, roadworks or even some kind of exotic animal crossing the road!***

@slice[Finish your ride back to the Stadium with a 36 km descent.](d,50602.11,86661.79)
