The Haute Route Compact, for riders wanting to sample the Haute Route experience but can’t commit to the full week-long sportives, is back.
Following the launch of the 2016 Haute Route Series, two courses have now been announced for the Haute Route compact, boasting climbs steeped in cycling history.
The Pyrenees edition, to run from August 20 to August 22, includes Marie-Blanque, Col d’Aubisque and La Pierre-Saint-Martin, while the Dolomites Compact (running from September 10 to September 11) will follow the route of final two days of the main event.
