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.

Sleepy Snakes, Angry Ants and Weighty Rocks – Parklands Trail-care summary 06/05/2017

Sleepy Snakes, Angry Ants and Weighty Rocks – Parklands Trail-care summary 06/05/2017

Hey everyone,

Really, really, really heavy rocks

We had a massive turnout for trail care today and the freshly cut-in access trail was polished off nicely within 3 hours.

The two creek crossings were armored with rock (really big, heavy ones!) and the single track and berms were shaped and packed down.

Highlights and experiences of the day were:

  • A really distracted snake didn’t realise that a vibrating plate machine or “Wacker Packer” was almost on it.
  • One team accidentally discovered a jumping ant nest. That caused a bit of excitement!
  • If you act really incompetent at cooking the BBQ, Sonja will take over and do it for you.
  • I was a bit stingy on the sausages… sorry about that everyone!

Thanks to Eugene from QPWS and Pete from Trailworx for your help and a big thanks to all our volunteers.
