Since 2018 the Otway Enduro Club has developed a reputation for running Pony Express races which are a step up in the difficulty level. Because of this we have decided to change the name of our “Pony Express” to the “Mule Express”. Why? The word Mule does have a few meanings but in our context a mule is the offspring of a male donkey and a female horse. Generally speaking a mule has inherit strength and stamina, but can also be used to describe a tough challenge.

The track for this Mule Express is going to be similar to our previous Pony Express tracks but with more overtaking lines. The track will also incorporate mainly tight single track through native forest and gum plantations.  As usual we’ll have a few man made obstructions placed at strategic spots to keep things interesting. The track will also contain an assortment of Rooster and Chicken lines, with a distinct advantage for the rider that decides to ride and nail the Rooster line.

This is a Motorcycling Australia Sanctioned Event, therefore you will require an MA Race License to compete, a one day license will be available for the event.
