We have also added a longer version of each if you want to do one bonus climb (Garlic bread options).There are sections of singletrack throughout both the long and short course, so please if there is something you don't feel confident riding, just stop and walk that part. There are also sections on the long course where you will be using bike paths, please be respectful of other users, give way to pedestrians and ring your bell. Both routes will stay together for the first 46 km, so you will have time to decide if you want to continue on the long, or exit on the short course.There are options for shortcuts on all routes, this is in the description on the GPX files.You may decide to download more than one file, and see how you feel.

CURVE x MAAP WOMXN'S 200 WEEKEND

Not a bunch ride, nor a race, just a fun weekend to celebrate this community and (hopefully) enjoy the summer sunshine. Simply ride your own pace through the course and Bec, Gemma & April will make sure that no one is left behind.
When: 21 - 22nd Feb 2026
Surface: Mostly sealed, with some road bike friendly gravel thrown in for fun.
