Watopia’s “Volcano Circuit CCW” route is nearly identical to the “Volcano Circuit” route, except you travel in a counter-clockwise direction on the circuit. To get to the circuit you must first ride ~2.6km from the spawn point, travelling through a glass bridge to arrive at the volcano. Once you arrive you will continue to be routed around the 4km circuit in a counter-clockwise direction. A lap counter visible just after the circuit banner indicates the number of laps you have completed.
This route, while mostly flat, has more than enough bumps and turns to keep things interesting lap after lap. If you can hang with the front on repeated efforts up the ramp to the banner, the final challenge is timing your final sprint just right. It's not easy, but it sure is fun!

ABOUT THE LAMBCHOP
Lambchop is a unique handicap format where everyone can get involved. The Chop' is a handicap race which means people are grouped by skill and staggered, with slower riders taking off first. This gives everyone in every grade a chance to be there racing at the finish. So get your racing strategy dialed and be precise with your PowerUps near the finish line. If you have no idea what that means, then just ride harder.
UNLOCK THE KIT
Complete any of the six races to score the new Racing Club kit in-game, and access to an exclusive Black Sheep kit in the real world. Or maybe the real world is actually virtual, and we are actually just a bunch of avatars riding up volcanos! Mindblown.
PRIZES
No prizes. But a higher FTP maybe your reward for your performance.
IS THIS A RACE?
Yes. Not of individual glory, but rather one based on the strengths of a well-working group. Anyone from any ability has a shot at winning, and the pace of the race means everyone gets a great workout. Give it a try!
