Curve x MAAP Womxn’s 200 weekend

We had so much fun on the Womxn’s 100 ride that we thought that a Womxn’s 200 could be twice as fun. In fact, let’s make a weekend of it!

Whether it’s your first 200km ride or your 50th, we encourage you to come along and have a go. 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.

PLEASE NOTE: The routes below have been made in response to the road closures associated with the bush fires in the area.

ROUTE INFORMATION:
Day 1: Don't be dismayed that this bush fire free route is an out and back. There are beautiful views, fast, flowy descents, a brewery on course and the opportunity to short course without having to swim across Lake Eildon.
Day 2: This recovery ride heads back to the town of Eildon, just to ride the cute little fishing trail and to get to the town of Thornton to sample the delights of their General Store.
