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.

Get out and ride for Mental Health Week

9-15th October 2016 is World mental health week so that's another excuse to get out on your bikes and get some of those feel-good hormones flowing. Look at the diagram below and check out all the cool stuff that exercise does for us! And remember to always ask if someone is OK, that simple conversation might be just what the other person needs.

Parklands Ride Summary – 09/10/2016

Hello everyone, [caption id="attachment_1775" align="alignright" width="300"] Great turn-out![/caption] Sunday's Parklands ride had a great turn out with the regular Bushrangers, some new guys, some CORCA boys, the Crankworx Cyclery crew and Al the Rocky Mountain rep. Massive turn out! This ride was this month's "Invite a bike shop" ride and Daniel from Crankworx Cyclery came to say g'day, along with Al the local Rocky Mountain bike rep. They both brought along some nice demo bikes which John, Nick and Rod got to take around Parklands. We broke into two groups with the "gung-ho" group leaving first and the "not so gung-ho" leaving afterwards taking things a bit slower. Both groups following a clockwise route around the park so we all finished the ride with a descent down Ho-Chi-Ho. Ben and I lead the 2nd group and took them up Road Rage, then onto Terry's track, through Cancer Tree over to the east side of the park. This is where all my whinging about climbing trails finally paid off...

Sunshine Coast Bike Week – Mapleton Ride Summary – 02/10/2017

Sunday was our community ride at Mapleton which also tied in with the Sunshine Coast Bike Week so in addition to a big turn out of club members we also had a few guests along (30 riders in total). Warm welcome to Jackie, Jenny, Todd who came along with Ben, Al and myself on the "easier" ride and to the other new riders who went along with John on the advanced ride or the "Bushrangers mtb rock climbing adventure" as Toby described it in Strava. Also a big hello to Chris from Venture Cycles, Sorab from the Sunshine Coast Cycle Club and Wayne and Helen from CORCA, thanks for coming along and I hope you enjoyed yourselves. The not-so-advanced ride rode from Mapleton out to the Oaky Creek lookout then back again which was a 25km trip. The view at the lookout was particularly interesting that day due to the smoke nestling in the valleys. The advanced ride followed a more complex route with some exploratory diversions...

Crankworx Cyclery is coming to Parklands

[caption id="attachment_1732" align="alignright" width="300"] Click for website[/caption] Hey there everyone, This Sunday’s Parklands ride will be the next “Support your local bike shop” ride and Daniel from Crankworx Cyclery is coming to ride with us (the local Rocky Mountain rep might be coming along as well). They are a new Specialized/Rocky Mountain dealer in Caloundra so maybe we'll see a new plus-tyred Stumpjumper or Pipeline. The ride starts at Radar Hill Road carpark at 6.45am (ride off at 7am). Depending on numbers we'll have two groups and coffee afterwards (probably at Bli Bli Bakery). Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/crankworxcyclery/ #crankworxcyclery  ...
