Event Details:

Looking for something outdoorsy and adventurous to do with your girlfriends? Then grab your bike and come ride the Munda Biddi Trail. This ‘girls only’ ride is a great introduction to adventure cycling while exploring the picturesque jarrah forests of Dwellingup. You won’t be on your own; leading the way will be a bike skills instructor who will safely help you develop your off-road riding skills. On reaching the old townsite of Marrinup, you’ll loop your way back to the Waypoints Cafe, where you’ll get to share a tasty ‘grazing’ platter and share some trail tales with your fellow gravel girls.
