Forrest Ramble 2013: 15-17 Nov 2013
The sleepy little town of Forrest will come alive on the weekend of the 15-17 November 2013 when GMTB rolls in. The dedicated MTB park just out of Forrest has the famous Mariner’s Run, with loads of mapped trails ranging from smooth easy flowing stuff to rutted and rooty advanced climbs and descents. On the other side of town is the Red Carpet trail, which winds past the local water reservoir before heading up into the hills for a long steady climb. But don’t despair… What goes up must come down, and Red Carpet is about as good as it gets for smooth and fast descents. The distances covered will be determined on the day, so we can cater for the super athletes or the cruisey cruisers. If the weather is hot we will almost definitely take a dip in the local swimming hole, a spectacular abandoned quarry.
