It is clockwise and has been for the last four years I believe. The stretch along the Toe was very nice but there was a constant headwind through there. Still, it is a fast ride, especially if you are willing to stay with the lead group until the climbing starts in Red Hill. I think the first guys finish in 2.5 hours.
