Round 1 of the Cycle 360<\/a> Gravel & XC MTB Series<\/strong> is here, and it\u2019s shaping up to be a great start to the season. With a promising forecast on the horizon, we\u2019re keeping everything crossed that the sunshine sticks around and delivers ideal riding conditions for the weekend.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Both routes have been planned to offer a proper mix of terrain, keeping things fun and challenging whether you\u2019re lining up for the Gravel or XC MTB category. Expect flowing sections, a few punchy efforts, and plenty of classic local trails to get the legs working early in the series.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

You\u2019ll find the routes for both the MTB and Gravel events below. As always, these are subject to change should there be any DEFA-related issues or last-minute adjustments needed to keep things running smoothly and safely.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Looking forward to seeing everyone out there for Round 1.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
