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.

Charlie Moreland— Mt Alan fire tower

Charlie Moreland  --  Mt Alan fire tower. Seems to be the bigger the hills the more people turn up and the more of a fantastic ride is had by all. What goes up must come down…. A Crystal-clear cool morning had 21 adventure seeking rides gather in dappled sunlight at Charlie Moreland park west of Kenilworth. 8 degrees.  Setting out for the mammoth climb up the Sunday Creek rd, as the legs warmed, and lungs filled banter slowed except for the grinning E bikers. First lookout set the camera shutters alight before moving on up and up and up  and then some more up...

August 2020 Boneyards

Bushrangers Ride Report 16/8/2020 Bone Yards “Welcome to the Jungle” Eagerly awaited and well attended Boneyards ride, a happy clan  of Bushrangers set off from Ferny Forest car park, first challenge was to see who could lift their bike over their head…to get over the first obstacle, a team effort ensured E bikes weren’t left behind…. Sandy tracks became ridable from the night’s rainfall, crisscrossing fire roads and Moto tracks before arriving deep in the jungles of Bone Yards proper. Weird place with skeletal remains, grey bearded Mtbers riding in circles & muttering not knowing how to get out of the endless loops, back tracks, deep forest, bogs, and mountains. The lost world so close to civilisation… Tribal drums and peoples could be heard but never seen apart from a man in a purple suit……. Concentration, skill, and leg burning effort ensured everyone completed the fantastic tracks, with something for all riders.  A real gem of a place to ride with local knowledge being...

Mapleton to Cooloolabin dam Wet weather alternative 26/7/2020

Well it looks like La Nina might be on its way as our planned ride was foiled by the MTB weather gods, possible due to riders not spending enough time kneeling & cleaning bikes??, this has now changed with recent rains/mud…. http://www.bom.gov.au/climate/updates/articles/a020.shtml So, the Mapleton highlands were called upon, Launch point Lillyponds, 10 devout riders gathered in the mist headed North on Mapleton forest drive through tall timbers and subtropical rainforests. The challenge was to avoid the tyre grit when descending at high speeds, you know what its like riding with one eye shut and the other blurry with eye watering speed Yaaah Hoooo & hang on tight to the bars,  corner what corner???.  Down towards Cooloolabin dam stopping to show newer riders some of the scenery. Lots of side tracks and potential loops for later exploration were passed up before arriving at the Dam wall for mandatory photos and linguistic exercises (possibly called Bull shiet). A different loop was put into action...
