As others have suggested for 3 days head just to the North East Victoria. The itinerary requires a bit of car travel but you will get the greatest hits. Day 1 - Start with a base in Bright and hit the Epic trail and the rest of what Mystic Bike Park has to offer. Day 2 (Option 1) Falls...

Great video edit - one of the better shorts from Australia. Looking forward to great things from LCS Visual!

Thanks dunndog - point taken. I have updated the blog post to indicate that the quote was from the guide and that it is not a traditional dh trail. I would hope that if any rider was going up to Buller to ride, that they would seek out further information, especially given that the Klingsporn is...

It was a quote from one of guides from Mansfield (All Terrain Cycles) that had taken the group on the ride down Klingsporn. It was also agreed by other more experience DH riders who had ridden it on the day. Given they were guides in the area and had ridden in many locations I took their word...

Thanks for the feedback. Seems the G Forms are getting the big tick as well as the POC's I must admit the style of the G Form pads would not be my first preference, but appears that function over form is winning here. I do like the POC product, but will come down to fit. Thanks again.

Having ridden trail/AM for many years without knee protection, recent falls and myself getting older and therefore longer to recover, I thought that it was time to look for some knee pads that would be ideal for trail/AM riding. Recent research for a low profile design, that works well with...

Mt Buller Road Trip Great Thread - love the stories and vids. See below link of recent roadtrip to Mt Buller. http://www.rideguideblog.co/2012/12/02/mt-buller-mountain-biking-road-trip-singletrack-switchbacks/

Hi RB Forum Readers, I am looking to get some feedback on a couple of ideas to improve the content on my site and get input on the key needs and concerns for riders today. http://www.rideguideblog.co/2012/06/26/ride-guide-mountain-bike-reader-survey/ I would really appreciate you help...

Recent conversations with my riding crew have thrown up a number of events that we have on the horizon to complete sometime - pending work, family and life commitments - which inspired the below blog post...

It takes a long time to turn the ship around, but articles like this show there is light at the end of the tunnel. It seems there is a recent influx of news regarding new trails and access for mountain bikers opening up - the world trail crew and IMBA Australia continue to post good news stories...

Riding mountain bikes we go through a lot a gear, yet after several years of riding I still have a couple products that have lasted well beyond their warranty period. http://www.rideguideblog.co/2012/05/17/3-mtb-products-i-can%E2%80%99t-live-without-%E2%80%93-mtb-review/ My top 3: 1...

An amazing video of a 4 year old with bike skills to humble many riders. Very Impressive http://youtu.be/rICuLbTlIqA

Seems there is an ever increasing relationship between good mountain bike destinations and very good micro breweries. The below link highlights a selection of singletrack and brewery match ups, but interested in some of the the locations not captured...

Bright Rides Check out this review on Bright. The Gravity 12 hour course is very good - also plenty of flat single track along the river and the valley towards Wandi. http://www.rideguideblog.co/2012/03/03/bright-australias-ultimate-cycling-town/ Agree that Cyclepath in town will be able...

Check out the great clip of the The Dirty Dozen - highlighting some of the best mountain bike trails in North East Victoria featuring Beechworth, Bright, Mt Beauty and Mt Buller. http://www.youtube.com/dirtydozenvictoria http://www.mtbfocus.com

New singletrack has been cut in Beechworth, designed and built by Glen Jacobs from World Trail. The new trail uses the shoulder on either side of the rail trail and is exactly what you would expect from a Glen Jacobs built trail - technical, fun, with plenty of flow. The trailhead is near the...

I agree with the the inner north. Thornbury, Northcote and surrounds. Close to the city, good restaurants, bars and cafes and close to some very good singletrack in the metro Melbourne (Yarra Trails), while not a lot of hills you can easily create a long loop 40Km plus on singletrack - Think...

There are some places here that have some good detail on trails in Beechworth & You Yangs which both feature good downhill options and where to stay.

For a similar event in Canada, the cost for basic entry in thier 7 day stage race (Trans Rockies), not including food or accom is CAD$1650 - given a very similar exchange rate - the terra australis seems very affordable for a like for like event - at half the price - and even cheaper with a 3...

I will be doing this event and am just a punter with only a couple of small enduro events completed. I have been building base fitness now and looking to ramp it up now - doing the odyssey as training - which will be a task in itself. The course looks amazing and the elevation profiles...
