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.

The AGM is on Sunday the 19th at 2pm at the Maroochy Botanical Gardens (only 18 more sleeps OMG!!!). If you have anything to go on the agenda get it to me by Friday (03/03/2017) so I can get it collated and sent out to all the members before the AGM.

The President, Secretary, Treasurer, Women’s Advocacy Officer and Social Co-ordinator are all happy to stay on in their roles. We do need nominations for the following new roles.

Door Prize

The robot bike thing can be modified with MTB bars, pedals and geometry

Peter Mabey from Masterfit has offered the club a free $250 bike fitting which we are using as a door prize for members who come to the AGM.

Peter has just moved down from Cairns and is trying to get his name out into the local cycling community so I went and checked out his bike fit clinic in action and it’s pretty impressive.
I ask the question as to whether he can actually do a fit for a mountain biker and he said of course. You take in your bike and he spends 2-3hrs going through everything with you, such as your pedal stroke, your shoes, frame size, seat position and handlebar position. There are even lasers involved!
