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.

Phoenix Trail (bottom half) is still closed

Hey folks, I just heard that people are taking down the QPWS "Trail closed" sign and riding on the bottom half of Phoenix. As far as I know the work is still not completed and it's not safe to ride so the signs are back up again. I know it's taking awhile and I would love to tell you how it's progressing but communication seems non-existent unfortunately and I am not sure what is going on. I'll keep chasing it up and once I find out I'll let you know....
