Rode this three times now. My two-pence worth.
I like the distance and profile as it gives me a quick workout before work (time crunched to 90 minutes). The two climbs are short and sweet, though the 0 to 14 percent change happens very quickly.
Gravel effect is spot on for the short roadworks, then the final 9km to the finish.
The colours do look washed out though, I did switch TVs this time to see if it was the screen itself, the yellows street signs seem vibrant enough, but the greens look too pale, even for an overcast day.
The horizon seems off too, noticable at several points during the ride, initially at the start and several times later when you can see the shorelines.
Other than those nuances, its a good ride.
