“Watopia’s Waistband” Route Details (Watopia)
Originally created as a “rebel route”, Watopia’s Waistband was launched in game as an event-only route, then became an open route in the December 2022 update. It’s called “Watopia’s Waistband” because it’s a perimeter route that nicely encircles key landmarks in Watopia proper including downtown Watopia, Fuego Flats, the Italian Villas, the Volcano, and the Fishing Village.

We begin on Fuego Flats at the spawn point, moving clockwise around the desert loop until it drops us off on Ocean Blvd. Take Ocean Blvd toward the Fishing Village (away from Downtown), turn left toward the Italian Village, then another left at the fountain to head toward the Volcano.
Ride partly around the Volcano clockwise, then make our way through the downtown start/finish line and onto Ocean Boulevard before a quick left back to Fuego Flats for the final false flat haul toward the desert arch for the finish.
