A Ride in the Forrest - Mountain Biking in Forrest, VIC | Hero 7 Black Hypersmooth 4K
I drive 8 hours east to the Great Otway Ranges, an Australian rain forest in south western Victoria, Australia. I arrive at a town called Forrest, a tiny settlement known for it's amazing mountain biking trails.
I set up camp at Stevenson Falls just south of the township but well and truly inside the rain forest. After a nights rest, I'm awoken by a symphony of bird life, including the scene setting laughter from the Kookaburras. I couldn't be anywhere but Australia.
After some breakfast in nearby Apollo Bay, it was time to get on the bike and get climbing. Finally reaching the top, I bomb down some fire track to fetch some water and then climb back to the beginning of the famous Red Carpet return trail.
There is a lot of climbing in this video, which I tried to cut down while still showing off the diversity of the forest and trails. If you want to get straight to the descent, it starts at about 12:45

Forrest MTB Park – Foxtail jumps to tabletop
Second time at Forrest with multiple trails ridden on this day. We started the day on Red Carpet, followed by a couple of lazy but enjoyable laps of Rollercoaster and the Town loop. We finished up at the Yaugher end in the afternoon and rode Foxtail, J2. Had not ridden J2 before and was a bit of a slow burner to start but finished with a bit of fun at the end. Always a tough climb back to the trailhead though.

Riding the Tunnel in John Forrest National Park
I recently had a great morning riding with my brother, nephew and niece in the John Forrest National Park, in the hills east of Perth, Western Australia. The Railway Reserves Heritage Trail we rode on was once a railway line - we started from Parkerville and rode to Swan View and back. We stopped at Hovea Falls and National Park Falls (currently dry due to summer) to check out the views and went through the old railway tunnel (340m long) that is carved through the rock. The perfect weather topped off a great morning in a beautiful location. Shot on my GoPro Hero 7 Black Edition.
