Kaiwara Classic
This event seeks to provide an inviting country atmosphere for the whole family… mountain biking the way it should be.
This event seeks to provide an inviting country atmosphere for the whole family… mountain biking the way it should be. We offer plenty of generous performance and spot prizes, including cash from RD Petroleum, Chain Reaction Cycles vouchers, fresh meat packs (legendary) from Harris Meats and bottles of Charles Wiffen wines.
There are 2 course options, with fitter riders able to opt for the ‘Epic’ course, which continues climbing approximately 1km beyond the Kaiwara Saddle to traverse the tops before rejoining the existing course at Sod Hut corner further down the Ethelton Valley. Whilst only 2km longer than the traditional ‘Challenge’ course, the additional climbs are steep and the track much rougher – but the views are fantastic. See the course page for a detailed description.
