Join us for the Kaitler Klassic on the Indigo Epic Trail in Beechworth on Saturday May 24th 2025. This event is being organised to remember Brenton Kaitler, a valued member of the local mountain biking community who tragically passed away last year while riding in the local area.
Teams of two will need to complete the course together and remain within two minutes of each other throughout the ride. This is a similar format to some of the Epic MTB race series (https://www.epic-series.com/) - a format that Brenton really loved.
The core focus of the Kaitler Klassic is to create a fun and social experience for riders to share with their riding partner on the day.
Location
Registration and the start and finish of both courses will be at the Indigo Epic Beechworth trailhead. Parking is available off Wallace Street.
Course
To cater to varying abilities, we plan to offer two course options:
Long Course: A 36.5 km loop with 800 meters of climbing from Beechworth to Yackandandah returning after Homeward bound via My Little Pinky and Yack Gate Rd.
Short Course: A 19 km loop of the Beechworth Epic loop which includes 300 meters of climbing.
More detail regarding the Indigo Epic trail is available here: https://www.victoriashighcountry.com.au/ride/mountain-biking/indigo-epic-trail/
Timing
Timing will be provided on the day. Team members need to start togeather and finish times will be taken from the second rider across the line.
