We've had many calls recently asking about the condition of the trails. Well despite heavy rains in the Melbourne area lately, Forrest has missed most of it. Further the soil out here handles a "bit of rain" far better than most MTB venues are around Melbourne.

So get on down here. The trails are in excellent condition and the Forrest MTB & Cycling Club will be busy over the next few weeks getting the trails ready for Summer.

Remember that we have heaps of...

Some events obtain a name all of their own after awhile. So it's still a little hard not to call the Ko.. I mean the Jeep 24 hour, well the Jeep 24 Hour.

The guys from Full Gas Promotions are about to invade our little village for yet another year. Entries are going strong but it's certainly not too late to get your entry in now.

No more holding on...

Forrest recently made the news because of a little "situation" with a Mobile phone tower. Well seems some locals have had what appears to be a win of sorts. This means that Forrest will soon no longer be "off the grid" and we will get Mobile Phone reception here in town.

This has become somewhat of a neccessity when it comes to safety for Mountain Bikers and bushwalkers.

Some other exciting news for Forrest, is that we will soon have a BREWERY in town!

The second annual Forrest six hour mountain bike race has proven the popularity of the local event once again the event was sold out in record time and on Sunday the parking area was a sea of vehicles, the transition zone was a sea of people and bikes.
