Forrest

Given the recent rain and the ongoing closure of the You Yangs and Lysterfield park, Dr Bartskinski and The Sheriff had to venture a little further than usual to get their mountain biking fix. Forrest lies two hours west of Melbourne nestled deep in the Otways, behind Apollo Bay. The town has embraced mountain biking and has some of the best trails in Victoria all within five minutes of the local shops.

After the drive, and some rather shite coffee from Winchelsea, we hit up the trails for four or five hours taking the in the Yaugher Super Loop, Grasstrees, Marriners Run, Foxtail and Yo-Yo (up -> down -> up -> down... repeat). For the maps of the trails jump onto this site:  http://www.rideforrest.com.au/trails

The DSE has just finished controlled burn offs in the park and it was amazing to see the regenerative growth of forrest springing forth. Enjoy my first attempt at a short movie, using iMovie, showing the beauty of the park and a couple of the awesome trails within.

Mix(te) & Match(ed)?

Could the freewheel match any better? White Industries Eno 18T Trials. 6 Pawls.

One for the Merckx MX Leader

Busyman has been at it again - this the latest for us at Rewind.

It'll go on the Merckx MX Leader once the paint is complete (which is taking a while!).

A thank you again for your hard work, Mick.

Can't wait to get it up and running on the new bike!

Kermit mixte

So we got another mixte. Just for something different.

Again paint by Troy at MCR - it's a gold/green sparkly pearl - amazing in the sunlight.

Would like to get a front rack for this one, to use as the picnic/porteur/shop bike.

Otway Odyssey MTB Marathon Eve

It is bucketing down rain outside and it's only 6.5 hours until Go Time but Ace looks super relaxed listening to sugar lips Dennis Cometti bringing his metaphors to the masses.

It is going to be a world of mud tomorrow... bring it!

I love my brain.

Possibly the coolest helmet slogan ever!

Stockers... Nutcase..... nuff said.

OOH.... errrrrrr

It's coming along....

Need to get the saddle to Busyman to get it moving...
