Be at the gates before they open
Touring strategy starts here. Rapterra climbs steeply through the morning on moderate days.
11 AM to 1 PM
Eat before 11 or after 2
Quick-service queues stack between 11:30 and 1:30. Plan around them.
11 AM to 6 PM
Mid-afternoon dip is real but brief
The window around 11 AM is your friend. Use it on Rapterra or whatever you've been putting off.
8 PM to 6 PM
Closing rush is your friend
Lines drop sharply once the night winds down. Wait it out, then re-ride.
Every ride, by average wait.
