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.

Introducing Tag-a-long Rides

Introducing Tag-a-long Rides

We’ve had some input that some of our members can’t always get to the Sunday club rides and they are uncomfortable riding on their own so we’ve heard a good idea that we want to try.

Learn the trails, get the goss and make new mates!

If anyone does a regular weekly ride and would be happy to have some company tag-a-long (see what we did there), then let us know the details and we’ll put it in the ride calendar (which we can then publish to Facebook). Having someone else riding along with you can make your normal ride more enjoyable, safer and even educational.

The details we need are:

  • your name and preferred contact details (phone or email or Facebook etc)
  • when you ride (e.g Wednesday’s at 4pm)
  • where you ride (e.g. Parklands, Wooroi, Ferny Forest or even if it’s a different location each week).
  • the “hardcore-ness” of the ride (Do you ride fast with minimal stopping?)

Send these details to us at secretary@bushrangers.org or message us on Facebook.

Important points for tag-a-long riders:

  • These rides are not club organised and you ride at your own risk so bring everything you need and ride within your limits.
  • Contact the member beforehand and make sure the ride is still on – sometimes things come up.
  • Unless otherwise stated these rides are not for beginners – come to our rookie rides and training sessions to build up your skills and fitness.

Other suggestions.

  • Members can also advertise any non-regular rides direct to our Facebook group.
  • A few of the local bike shops do regular shop rides so give them a call and find out when and where they are.
  • There are other clubs, bike shops and riding groups that ride on different days so I’m sure if you ask nicely you could ride with them – check on Facebook and ask around.
