Mini MTB Stage Races built for the Weekend Warrior!
WHICH ONE WILL YOU DO?
Riders will enjoy a weekend away, challenging themselves each day on some of Australia’s best trails, but once the riding stops, you will have just as much fun off the bike with friends and family to enjoy these beautiful tourism destinations.
Each event is an intro to the concept of stage racing, with short but challenging stages, packed with the best single track in each region, and only needing an average degree of fitness to complete.
Our course designs are meant to create fun riding, with a lot of riders from our first series calling our events more like “Enduro/XC races”, thanks to the high percentage of flowing single trail and a lack of long, boring gravel road grinds in each stage.
Each event has been curated to pair the best locations with the best trails, creating an awesome weekend away riding with mates. And to top it off we guarantee that the social side of the event will be just as much fun as the riding!
Podium glory is also done differently at these events. Our search to crown the best Weekend Warrior uses a unique handicap system at each event, designed to recognise the riders who races to the best of their own ability. In effect each rider races themselves and then the one who rides to the best of their ability tops the rankings each day!
Best of all, most people will only need to take no more than one day off work to attend each event (rather than a whole week of leave to do most of the major XC Stage Races).
Pick the event you want to do, but a word of warning, once you have done one you will want to do more!

We`ve been itching to get to Victoria for a Quad Crown event for yonks - and this November, it`s time!
The Mystic Yak is going to be an all-time way to kick off the riding season in the High Country on 22-24 November. This event mixes our popular 2.5 day format with some of the most popular trails in the country.
From the historic town of Beechworth for a taste of the Indigo Epic in the prologue, to views and yiews of Mystic Bike Park for Saturday, and then to Yackandandah for the rest of the Indigo Epic on Sunday - this one will be a cracker.
Come and have a great weekend in the high country - you won`t regret it!

We are disappointed to advise that we have to postpone The Big O event planned for Omeo in November. 😢 Despite everyone`s best efforts, we haven`t been able to secure permission to access the amount of new trails we would need to run the event at the standard expected by our riders. We will continue to work with the Gippsland Shire and the Trail Management team at Omeo to reschedule the event into our Quad Events calendar in future years. In the meantime - watch this space for a BIG new event announcement to fill the void in Victoria in November - where do you want to see us land? 🤔

Winners Are Grinners!!! 👑😁
Everyone who finishes one of our events is a winner in our eyes... But a BIG congrats to all the category winners at The Orca `24. Under our unique handicap system, Oliver Bradley was named the Warrior King and Kate Mitchell was crowned our Warrior Queen. 👸
Aussie MTB superstar Brendan Johnston jetted in and took the overall leaders yellow jersey, whilst Katherine Hosking continued her trend of wearing pink at our events! The E-Bike category was very hotly contested (won by Charlie Todd) and a legendary "Old Ginger" snuck onto the top of the Masters Podium. Well done to everyone. 👏

The Orca `24 is Done... and it certainly lived up to the hype!? 💙
The Sapphire Coast really is a special part of the world to have a mountain bike event as Eden and Tathra turned it on!

Stage 1 of The Orca `24 at Tathra! 🐳
What a spot to start and finish a stage race? A little overnight rain freshened up the trails and the sun came out to make it a morning to remember. 🌞 The only thing better than the sweet single track at Bundadung were the cold beers waiting at the Finish line! 🍺
