WOMXN OF CURVE - BIG PAT'S RIDE
Event Details
When: Oct 18th 2025 @ 9:00am
Start/Finish: Yarra Centre, Yarra Junction
SHORT Ride File: Here
LONG Ride File: Here
What bike: Gravel bike with tyres >40mm
This Womxn of Curve Social ride will take place on Saturday 18 Oct 2025 @9am. The ride starts and ends at the Yarra Centre, 2435 Warburton Hwy, Yarra Junction.
April from Curve will be on route to give riders a hand, but there is no formal organisation. Please upload the route to your device and bring everything you need to be self sufficient.
You don't need to ride a Curve to come along, all are welcome!
There are 2 route options; a shortish course and a long course. Both will take the same route for the first 38km.
We will follow the Warburton Rail Trail to Warburton followed by backroads to Big Pats Creek where the climbing commences. The 10km that follows is a scenic gravel climb on Smyth Creek Road. The effort is rewarded with beautiful views on a clear day. The collection of gravel roads that follow are equally lush, they make for a fun descent before crossing the Yarra-Junction Noojee Road and arriving at the resupply point for the day in Powelltown (38km).
On the shortish course, tree lined gravel back roads & fire trails will take you almost the whole way back to where you started. It sounds so simple, but fear not - you're sure to get some exercise!
