Australia has never been short of bike events to take part in, but for 2022 a new series popped up – the Quad Crown MTB Series. The concept was simple enough, four fun events that ran from a Friday arvo through to Sunday lunch time. Friday would see a Prelude of about 10km of singletrack. This would prove to be the perfect leg loosener for the weekend, with a time trial format and then a free beer at a dedicated social venue. Saturday and Sunday would have 30-50km of riding, all with a social function afterwards for presentations. The idea was you would be finished by lunch, so you could hang out with friends or see the sights. Each event would take place in locations with good trails, and good vibes for a weekend away from home. Unfortunately, 2022 was not a great year to run an event. But the positive vibes from the Quad Crown crew could not be extinguished by ongoing rain events and they came out ready to rock for 2023.
