About Our Club

Our club was formed in 1993 and incorporated in 1995 when mountain biking (MTB) in Australia was in its infancy. Since then the club and the sport have gained popularity through advocacy and participation. The Bushrangers MTB Club is a volunteer based organisation run by enthusiasts, for the benefit of promoting and supporting mountain biking across the region.

We do regular rides all over Sunshine Coast and SEQ from Cooloola to Brisbane, in national parks, state forestries and council parks. Check out this website for more information on events, news, and for places to ride.

January wet weather ride

During periods of wet weather when the clubs planned ride is cancelled a pavement ride is often still held, if predicted weather isn't too severe. Members will typically receive a text or email the night before to advise of the changed plans. For our last ride of January we had seven keen members meet in Maroochydore headed Coolum way in search of a coffee shop for a mid ride refueling treat. We encourage all members still keen to jump on their bike to stick to the pavement and areas that won't negatively impact trails when riding in or after periods of rain. Plus your less likely to become intimate with fallen branches on the pavement!...
