The Forrest Mountain Bike and Cycling Club invites you to come and experience our extensive trail network.

Join the club and support the work to keep our trail network as one of the best mountain-biking destinations in Victoria. Our club welcomes riders from all disciplines; cross country, downhill, road and gravel.

The Forrest Trail Network is in the process of being upgraded. As such, signage and maps are also being updated. The new temporary map for the Southern Trail Network is below, and you can view the old map which covers Yaugher here.

Trailforks has all existing and new trails on it, however some names are yet to be finalised.

We’re a day late with the announcement but these two trails are back open. The entire network is ready for you! #rideforrest

Update from DEECA: work is being completed in the coming weeks to get some more drainage sorted on these two popular trails. Please respect trail closures. All other trails at the Southern and Yaugher trailheads remain open. #rideForrest #forrestmtbclub

Tracks closed! The bottoms of Bombora and PBJ have

Tracks closed! The bottoms of Bombora and PBJ have been suffering lately with the rain and heavy trail use meaning some sections of deep clay are beginning to appear and churn up. DEECA has closed the trails for two weeks to give them a rest and possibly do some work to manage the issue, weather dependent. As you will see from the picture attached, PBJ and Bombora have been closed off with bunting and a sign saying trail closed. Please respect the closures - or they may need to be closed longer.

At the Forrest General Store and Forrest Trailhead there is signage stating the trail is closed from the 4th of August until the 21st of August. There is also possibility of extending the closure for another fortnight if they deem it necessary or if they need more time to do some works on areas of concern. #rideForrest

Apologies for the dodgy last-minute graphics - but DEECA have advised that work on Rollercoaster is about to start this Sunday! This means that the (current) climbing part of Rollercoaster will be closed but you can use the original Rollercoaster climb to access Tip Rd (shown in orange) and the other trails can be accessed from there: Third Time Lucky, Follow the Dog, Millers Mongrel, and Rollercoaster Extension) plus you can use the current Rollercoaster descent back to the Skills Park. The parts of Third Time Lucky that are north/east of Tip Rd will also be closed. The closures will be signed shortly, please respect all closures! #RideForrest #forrestmtbtrails

Reminder that Run Forrest is on today and this affects use of the trails shown on these maps. Mainly some Forrest Loop, Barlidjaru and Red Carpet. #runForrest

There’s still work going on at the Southern Trailhead. There’s two new shelters, a drinking fountain and a lot of landscaping has been going in around the large pump track. It’s going to be a great hangout space between laps and we can’t wait to see it all finished! #rideforrest #forrestmtb #forrestmtbtrails #forrestmtbclub

Save the date! We are going to run a day for beginner riders to learn to maintain their bikes. Learn about gears, brakes, cleaning and tyres. Not a member? If you want to join the club but don’t want AusCycling insurance for riding, you could join with a “non-riding” AusCycling membership - which is free! When joining AusCycling you can nominate a club, Forrest Mountain Bike and Cycling Club, and pay our membership fee - $20 - which goes directly to supporting our club. And guess what? For that $20 to join our club, this event becomes free for you! Head to AusCycling to join https://www.auscycling.org.au/membership/non-riding #rideforrest

Upcoming track closures! As forewarned before Christmas, more work is required on these trails on the culverts and bridge widening and therefore these trails will be closed on these dates. Different trails are closed on different dates so make sure you read them all! Closures affects the Southern Trail Network only - and remember these numbers refer to the temporary map not the old numbering. 😉

We’ve been advised track 14 at Yaugher will be closed on Wednesday for maintenance- but the good news is it’s just for one day! Back open for your Aussie Day loops with the kiddos. #rideforrest

Disappointing news that some riders have take it upon themselves to remove the top log of the Marriners drop. If you can’t ride a feature, walk it. Take some skills lessons and learn to ride it. It’s a shame but we will get it repaired (unnecessary waste of our limited resources) - in the mean time please take care as it may well be less stable than it should be. 🤦‍♀️ 🤦‍♂️

Hi all, yesterday the new trails were added to Tra

Hi all, yesterday the new trails were added to Trailforks but you may need to sync your region to see them. Click Settings > Downloaded Regions > Sync Australia Region. Please send the club a DM if something seems incorrect on Trailforks, we are admin for Forrest trails on Trailforks and can make edits. (The trail names in the background of the map can apparently take a few weeks to update)

Please note: the trail numbering is still not finalised on physical signage. For example Red Carpet is now numbered in three parts 13, 14, 15 on the current temporary map (4th pic) but out on the trails it’s still marked as track 3 all the way. There are also currently repeated numbers between the two trailheads eg Track 9 could refer to PBJ in the Southern Trail Network or Marriners Run at Yaugher so just be mindful that you may need to clarify trails by name until the numbering and signage on the entire network is updated. Also track 8 and 11 at the Southern Network are still unnamed. Please be patient as the land managers and project groups work to finalise these updates.
