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.

With Toby showing off the Maroochydore to Coolum coastal paths and scenic Emu mountain national park, avoiding excess water and mud in sensible style. Graham taking the scenic tour around Ewan Maddock dam and surrounds with some enthusiastic new members. See the earlier posts for details.
