The Mystic Yak heralded Quad Crown’s stage race in the new location of the Victorian high country. Taking in the trails of Beechworth, Bright and the Indigo Epic trail at Yackandandah, the Mystic Yak had something for every mountain biker. To quench your FOMO, here’s a gallery from the recent race. The next stage race is the Quad Crown Black Pearl in Newcastle, March 7–9. You can find out more and enter here.

What better way to celebrate a weekend of riding than some sneaky beers?
