This is undoubtedly the gem in the crown of the Rouleurs Classic.<\/p>\n<p>You\u2019ll get to experience the unrivalled beauty of this waterfall and the accompanying views before passing through picturesque Robertson and the wonderfully named Kangaloon on the way back to Bowral.<\/p>\n<p><b>Is there a King\/Queen of the Mountain stage?<\/b><\/p>\n<p>There is no King\/Queen of the Mountain stage this year. Only the Maxi Classic will feature a timed climb in 2019.<\/p>\n<p><b>What sort of numbers am I going to rack up?<\/b><\/p>\n<p>The Rouleurs Classic is 90km long, over which you\u2019ll gain 1231m in elevation.<\/p>\n<p>For those disappointed in the lack of a timed climb never fear as this course has plenty of steep sections. In fact, many previous riders have noted that the last 40km are noticeably harder than the initial 50.<\/p>\n<p><b><img decoding=\"async\" class=\" wp-image-6723 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/www.bowralclassic.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/10434-BWC-90km-elevation-300x123.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"556\" height=\"228\" \/>How can I practice?<\/b><b><br \/>\n<\/b>Both Strava and Map My Ride have specially-created courses so you can hit the road on the weekend and start prepping!<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.strava.com\/routes\/16454989\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-6614 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.bowralclassic.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/strava-logo-100px.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"100\" height=\"21\" \/><\/a><br \/>\n<a class=\"nectar-button medium see-through-2\" href=\"https:\/\/www.strava.com\/routes\/16454989\" data-color-override=\"false\" data-hover-color-override=\"false\" data-hover-text-color-override=\"#000\">Download course on STRAVA <\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.mapmyride.com\/routes\/fullscreen\/2406343327\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-6600 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.bowralclassic.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/MapMyRide-85px.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"80\" height=\"49\" \/><\/a><br \/>\n<a class=\"nectar-button medium see-through-2\" href=\"https:\/\/www.mapmyride.com\/routes\/fullscreen\/2406343327\/\" data-color-override=\"false\" data-hover-color-override=\"false\" data-hover-text-color-override=\"#000\">Download course on MAPMYRIDE <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>With the 2019 Bowral Classic not too far away we thought it time to take a closer look at each course!
