DESPITE the recent landslide causing some changes in this year's Alpine Classic event, the 1400 riders enjoyed a day of great weather and great fun on Saturday.

Event manager Blake Carpinteri said it was a "really great" day.

"It was a bit of a chilly start on some of the mountains but it warmed up nicely so the weather was ideal," he said.

"This year's numbers were smaller than previous years, due to the landslide and road closures changing some of the course, but everyone enjoyed the day.

"We couldn't do the 135km from Mount Hotham to Dinner Plain and back but the replacement ride was still our most popular.

"A huge thankyou to the Alpine Shire, local traders who came down and friends and family who came along to support the event.

"It's been a tough four years with COVID, bushfires and the landslide so we're hoping for a 2024 event with no issues."
