Family friendly event

If you bring your family along - there’s stuff for them to do.

The hill climb will generate a buzz of excitement – it’ll be fun just to be there to see who comes in first! Will it be the KoM, the QoM, or will
cross country skills prevail over the climbers in the end?

The night event will also be exciting – it’s short and intense, and with the live music and bonfires, there’ll be stuff to do. The family
won’t be left standing around for hours twiddling their thumbs.

While you’re out riding on Sunday morning:

• There’s a playground area at the showground
• There are a number of historic sites in the local area – check out your search engine
• Bigger kids can go for a ride – if they’re ok without supervision (your call)
• Just a short drive away is plenty of shopping, plenty of specialty shops, plenty of coffee shops, plus wineries – check out your search engine
• Of course they can drive to any of the viewing points and cheer you on.
• Or they can just sleep in and relax.

First timer friendly event

Have you thought about doing a mountain bike event but felt ‘maybe next time’? The Burning Bike is set up so that you can have a go at each of the best bits of mountain biking without having to commit to a leg- smash-fest or staying up all night and trying to drive home the next day.

The idea here is that while each of the three stages are individually challenging, they aren’t too daunting when put together as a package spread out over two days. It’s an ideal format for a weekend away to test your mountain bike skills, and while it’s true you will need lights for the night lap, the gear you have got now should be fine.

Being on a long weekend it also allows you plenty of time to get home and recover before you need to return to work.

You’ve always wanted to do it – now’s your chance to get a few friends together for a memorable mountain bike experience.

AND – it’ll be around for a while. Be there at the birth of a legendary event.
