I rode the Coastal Crown Loop in Watopia on the trainer, taking in the Mayan Mountainside and Itza climbs along the way. The virtual roads wound past temples and waterfalls, with the mountains rising behind them.

I completed Stage 3 of the Tour of Watopia and unlocked the 2026 tour cap. The finish screenshot also showed a new personal best on the Mayan Mountainside KOM.
