Forrest - VIC

I can't explain this, I just came across it when checking out one of the mountain bike tracks and thought it was interesting enough to share:-))

 

Forrest, Victoria is a small rural township in the Otway Ranges, Victoria, Australia. After the cessation of logging in the Otways, the Government of Victoria made funds available for the creation of dedicated Mountain bike trails in the Yaugher area, in order to replace the logging industry. Mountain biking was seen as an addition to the already plentiful eco-tourism industry. Mountain biking now makes up a large portion of the economy in Forrest. The area now has over 60 kilometres (37.3 mi) of sign posted "single track". Further details can be found at the official website www.rideforrest.com.au

 

Forrest is home to the following annual Mountain Bike Events

 

Forrest Festival - 2 day multi stage event

Otway Odyssey - 100k event

Forrest 6 Hour - 6 Hour event by teams and individuals
