In sunnier climes is the Sea to Sky race that takes place on the Turkish coast. As the name suggest the race kicks off on the beach in the Turkish riviera and climbs all the way into the mountains, finished at 2300m above sea level.
As well as making your ears pop on the way up it also features three distinct challenges to the competitors. Over the three days riders take part in the beach race, the forest race and then the Mountain Olympos race. The latter is the most extreme test as it sees the field tackle Turkey’s biggest mountains having been in the saddle for four hours.
