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 love the story of Anna from The Orca! 🥰
Deciding to enter her FIRST mountain bike event, Anna saw The Orca as a chance to get on the bike and train for a personal goal after focusing more on being a Mum the last few years. So how did she go?
"It was phenomenal," exclaimed Anna after crossing the finish line. "Day 3 was hard but the views made it worth it and the trails were amazing, they must be the best in Australia."
So would she recommend our events to others?
"Do it!!! Just Do it!!!" she smiled. ✔️
We think maybe a Nike sponsorship is needed for Anna as she now starts training for The Mystic Yak in November. Check her socials for a snippet of her Rocket Mode training regime! 🚀

E-Bikes are VERY welcome at all of our Quad Crown events!!! ⚡
Whether you want to push your battery to the max and keep pace with the leaders, or just ride an E-Bike to enjoy the trails and get to the finish line - we want to see you at The Mystic Yak. 🐮
It will not surprise that E-Bikes are our fastest growing category but what you may not know is they still qualify in the overall Handicap Rankings. In fact our most recent Weekend Warrior Queen (Kate Mitchell) rode an E-Bike to victory at The Orca last month! 👑
We rely on all our riders to self-seed in our starting waves, including E-Bikes. All we request is that you are courteous on the trails - the same thing we ask from all our riders! 🙏

Introducing the Prelude Course for The Mystic Yak on Friday 22nd November. A fun 10km burst around the @explorebeechworth side of the Indigo Epic Trail, starting and finishing on the banks of Lake Kerferd. 🌄
Liam our Course Director gives you an idea of what to expect. “5km of epic flow trail awaits... No long climbs here followed by energy-sapping descents, just flow and fun repeated again and again!” 😍
We recommend everyone does The Prelude at our events as it not only sets your personal Handicap time for the two weekend stages but it is also designed to be a fun ride and means you have earned your first beer at the Welcome Function later that night! 🍺
