On behalf of the Forrest MTB & Cycling Club we’re inviting you to buy an entry to the Odyssey Angels ride as part of the Otway Odyssey event in February. CLICK HERE TO ENTER THE ODYSSEY.

The Otway Odyssey is a weekend of riding in Forrest run by Rapid Ascent on 22-23 Feb 2025. There are rides of different lengths, starting at 10km and maxing out at 100km. There is a 30km option which is the event that has a “women’s only” start line and Odyssey Angels, volunteer female riders, out on course to support you during the ride. This is what we encourage to you sign up for, and train for, with us.

For most women, the Odyssel Angels ride might be the first organised race/event they sign up to and the Forrest Mountain Bike & Cycling Club is here to help you prepare for that day and make it over the finish line! Or perhaps you’ve done the 10km before and you’re ready for a bigger challenge.

This series of upcoming events are for women who have signed up for the Angels ride to help them prepare to have a great day on the bike. There are also evening club rides for women on Tuesdays – please see club facebook for more details. 

The series of fully subsidised training rides in the lead up to the event will help you get familiar with different parts of the course, and get some kilometres into your legs. Every ride will have a qualified instructor to guide you, and there will be opportunity to discuss how to tackle different sections as we go.  Some sessions will be more focussed on fitness, others will break down a specific segment (hello Marriners). As always, we will make it fun!

Sessions are limited to 10 each.

11 January Session – meeting at Yaugher trailhead, we will start with a simple Yaugher Super Loop of approximately 10km.
