Otway Odyssey draws top racers to marathon event

Nestled deep within the Otway ranges, the small township of Forrest is getting ready to turn mountain bike mad with the Lowan Otway Odyssey Mountain Bike Marathon this weekend on February 23.

In only its second year, the Lowan Otway Odyssey has quickly grown to a major event on the Australian Mountain Bike Calendar after selling out to 1,400 riders in the 100km and 50km races plus an extra 150 riders in the junior 15km race.
