“Waisted 8” Route Details (Watopia)
This route gets its name from Watopia’s Waistband since both routes cover the “waistband” encircling Watopia’s Volcano, Downtown, and Fuego Flats areas.
Waisted 8 traverses this loop in the opposite direction, though, and includes a loop of Jarvis Island for good measure.Â

Route Description

We begin in downtown Watopia, traveling around the northern half of the Volcano and onto a clockwise circuit of Jarvis Island.
The Jarvis circuit is one loop in this figure 8 route, but you’ve got a much bigger loop left to complete!
Exit Jarvis, turning right to travel down the land bridge and up the Dirty Sorpressa. You’ll make your way through the marina and into the Ocean Boulevard tunnels before climbing up through the redwoods and descending to Saddle Springs for a fast, flat ride through the Fuego Flats desert.
As you begin to descend from the desert toward downtown Watopia, you’re almost to the finish line. Hang a right on Ocean Boulevard, another right toward the start pens, and you’ve got just a few hundred meters to the finish line. Go go go!
