Forrest MTB & Cycling Club update Oct '08

G'Day All, Welcome to the October 2008 update for the Forrest MTB & Cycling Club.

The first change you will notice is our change of name. As a fully inclusive club, we welcome anyone to come along and join in, regardless if you like to ride single track on a mountian bike, or prefer to stick to the black stuff on a road bike. The club offers benefits and activities for all. The second change is we are now fully incorporated and affiliated with the governing body for mountain biking in Australia, MTBA. We can offer full membership and insurance benefits through MTBA including public liability cover and insurance for all club activities.

A number of members have entered the KONA 24 Hour which will be held on the last week-end of November. As a prelude the club will launch its Forrest Feral Friday race series, open to members and non-members, check out the posters going up soon. Full Details here

The third change is we now have a fully formed committee to help arrange club activities, although in practise the club will continue to be run by the members for the members. We appreciate feedback from all club members and Forrest residents.

If you have a question or a point to make, please contact us personally or on the club E-Mail address This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it . Until next month, see you on the trails Roland Eck Secretary Forrest MTB & Cycling Club

24 Hour racing is probably the most accessible type of Mountain Bike racing.  The vast majority of people compete in teams of up to 6 riders, each taking a turn of doing a lap over a 24 hour period.  Some riders chose to do the whole 24 hours on their own, these are the SOLO riders.

Attention Investors

money-manForrest is FULL of opportunities, and is growing in popularity rapidly.  The Mountain Bike community is a bouyant one that has enormous opportunities for would be investors and business'.

Currently the Forrest Mountain Bike Trails are thriving, however apart from the very well run local accommodation places, and the Forrest Pub, we have very little for Mountain biking visitors to spend their money on.

Forrest desparately needs a CAFE fast.  Somewhere that riders can not only get a coffee (which cyclists LOVE), but also get some breakfast when they are staying in town.  The growth of Forrest as a cycling tourist destination is only going to increase.  There are already 2 MAJOR events being held here annually with more to come.

Looking for an investment opportunity... Come to Forrest and see what we have to offer.  Serious business operators need only apply.

 
Australia's #1 MTB Trails
*Sourced Australian Mountain Bike Magazine Aug/Sep 08 Edition
Australia’s best trails? It’s a big call, we know. But there is a damn good reason that two of the countries premier MTB events, the Kona 24 Hour and the Otway Odyssey are held in this region. The sheer variety of the trail surfaces, obstacles, uphills, downhills, fauna and flora is mind boggling. The 62km of mapped / sign-posted trail in the Forrest area, are truly world class. These trails are the real deal for enthusiasts of everything two wheels on dirt.
