Mystic Enduro Race Day – Big Climbs, Close Times & Fan Moments!

Race day at Mystic Bike Park brought crisp alpine air, blue skies, and one of the best atmospheres of the season. This was the final round of the Victorian Gravity Enduro Series, and it did not disappoint.

Dan, Nick and I made the call to ride together—so instead of following my category start order, I switched to theirs. That meant kicking off the day with a brutal 1 hour and 15 minute climb to the top of Mystic, gaining over 550 metres before even touching Stage 1.

Stage 1 was long and punishing, but conditions were perfect, and I found my rhythm as the day went on. I managed consistent results across all five stages, finishing most between 6th and 8th—a solid performance in a stacked field.

One of the unexpected highlights? Meeting young riders who follow Sportilium and wrapping up the day by chasing Emmett down the final trail back to the event village.

There was a bit of a hiccup at the end when my change of race order raised questions with the commissaire, but everything was sorted quickly. All part of the adventure.
