Surfcoast 24 hour MTB Festival http://www.surfcoast6hour.com.au Roland

YAY. Looks like both me and the boss can race The $50 3-race CA permit hits the pocket hard when added to entry fee. Being able to use our MTBA licences makes the trip up worthwhile Roland

Brunswick runs a CA licence only, will CrossMelburn be CA only or dual CA/MTBA licences? Roland

Yep, forgot the bit about "extensive fire plan" during the summer months :) Roland

Having a small insight into what it takes to run a 24 hour. You need to have a couple of people working almost full-time for up to three months prior You need to find an event centre that doesn't cross a public road (at Forrest) You have the choice of innacurate chip timing (missing laps), or...

Did you guys get a trophy? Had a few people come up after presentations. All wanted the "trophy we won for coming first in triples mixed" (seriously) If you don't have a trophy then the answer is no! Roland

G'Day All, Solo spots are sold out and team entries continue to flow in. When you arrive to park, we'll be rattling tins, (nicely of course), looking for donations to our trail crew. To give you a preview of where this money goes, we had Nick Bowman from IMBA-AU in Forrest last week-end to...

There will be room to camp further down near to where cars are parked. At most a 100m walk to transition Roland

If you enjoyed Odyssey you'll love our track Seven solo spots left Plenty of room for team entries Roland

Countdown of the final 10 solo positions has begun Roland

146 entrants so far. There are less than 40 solo spots left and still entries coming in. If you want to enter, or know someone who wants to enter solo, please pass this on. Solo entries could be sold out in less than 1 week. We have ordered enough trophies for every category, about...

G'Day, Like most races, the most popular categories are offered, if we find we get more teams leaning one way than the other, categories are adjusted to suit just before the race Hope this helps (108 entrants as of Friday night) Roland

It's all sorted, one guy entered five teams but used the same name each time. All fixed now and all five teams entered Day two, 91 entries and major sponsor in place. Roland

Day one of rego and 66 entries already :cool: Roland

O.K. guys, do you really NEED to provide any more ammunition? After this story http://www.colacherald.com.au/2012/02/deluge-rewrites-rain-record-books/ The paper ran a "local resident complaint", (since removed from the website), about mountain bikers causing erosion to a local horse...

Except for the change of date, information from last year is the same. As usual, riders who entered last year will receive an E-Mail in the next couple of weeks and will have the opportunity to pre-enter the event before it is opened to the public. We are just confirming that entry fees...

G'Day All, Just posting this to see if there is any interest. Forrest MTB Club has spent the past 12 months organising to bring Nick Bowman from IMBA-AU to Forrest for a week-end of theory and practical experience in trail building. We may have a couple of spots free, so are willing to...

To digress further....................... There is an even better one from the top of the Fire Tower down to Skene's creek If you turn right off the bitumen at the end of Sunnyside road it is all downhill until you hit the G.O.R at Wongarra, then a pleasant 5km along the G.O.R. into Apollo...

Personally I wouldn't support the building of a dedicated trail from Lorne to Forrest, (there are already several made by the moto's) "Forrest" as in the community, find any events based in Lorne, (Surfcoast Shire), use our facilities but never add any value, (read: other events currently do...

Lots of broken chains from riders who didn't take the time to add some lube at the football ground, including Red Racer who "ran" into 5th spot overall. I had a full bottle of lube in the toolbox at the start of the day which is now empty due to the many "got any lube" requests from riders in...
