The event will be held from 6 AM to 10:30 am and traffic police will be conducting route changes in the city; drivers are advised to use other roads while the cycling competition is in place.
The cycling event will start from Kote Anjaneyaswamy Temple and will pass through a number of important roads and junctions in Mysuru and around. Since a large number of cyclists will be travelling along the designated route, temporary traffic restrictions and diversions are expected at various places.
Police are calling on people in the vicinity of the road to help police or any other traffic officer and follow the instructions given on the day of the event. A driver travelling through the affected areas should plan and take a different route.
Cycling Route covering Major Mysuru Roads
The cycling route will start around Kote Anjaneyaswamy Temple and will proceed around Mysuru Palace, Devaraja Urs Road and Ramaswamy Circle as per traffic arrangements.

On the return journey, participants will pass through Doctors Community Hall, Lalith Mahal Road, Sangolli Rayanna Circle, MRC Signal and Karanji Lake Bund Road. The cycling race will conclude on M.K. Irani Road.
Public asked to Use Alternative Routes
And because the event is part of the morning, in the morning, people using the affected roads may encounter traffic changes. The city police have advised drivers to avoid the cycling route during the event where possible.
There will be traffic officers at key junctions to control vehicles and manage the movement of vehicles in the way of cyclists to help manage traffic during the cycling event. Everyone is also advised to follow diversion signs and to follow traffic police instructions on road safety.
