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.

GOGIRL BVRT Ride report 21/09/20 – 24/09/20

GOGIRL BVRT Ride report 21/09/20 - 24/09/20 Day 1 GoGIRL BVRT tour began with John shuttling us to the start of our ride at Yarraman. The ride was gently undulating and we were soon chatting, laughing and enjoying the scenery. There were numerous magpie attacks but you’ll be happy to know no one was seriously injured. Right from the car park we were soon swooping stories I mean swapping stories of different strategies to over come this. There was interesting Darth Vader head gear worn, silver tails but after much experimentation, it was decided the most successful was riding in tight formation, two by two bikie style.One of the J’s (Jennifer Turner, Jennifer Hurrel, Jenny Kemp or Julia Petts) could often be heard talking sweetly which seemed to work very efficiently for her. We had a lovely feed and rest at Blackbutt park before rolling back to the delightful Linville Pub after riding 43km where there was more food, wine and chatter about...

Sugar Bag Caloundra 20/9/2020

Sugar Bag Caloundra 20/9/2020 Sugar bag is one of those last remaining inner suburban bush areas with MTB tracks accessible to the locals and visitors to the area, what a brilliant facility for people to live life to the MAX !!! and carve it up on all styles of MTB’s. This place is like a Cherry Ripe in a salad (I know what id prefere!!!) brilliantly set up & maintained by the local club CORCA. Bushrangers ready to roll but a couple of bikes refused to cooperate with a chain breaking in the car park and a disrespectful seat post dropping when not asked, best to get mechanicals out of the way early.  Santa (Cruz) came early for Paul V riding his new magic carpet in the lolly shop. Objective to ride all tracks which involves so many creative features, double sea saw, numerous timber rollovers, high windy raised skinnies, mega log rides, steep drops and sandstone rock gardens, big rock rolls.  Lots...

Atkinson Road Parklands 13.9.2020

Parklands Atkinson rd  13.9.2020 Crazy times Crazy Weather, September is usually the driest month not so this year more like Autumn than spring. With the Social ride at Radar side and Club ride at Atkinson rd side. Great to see kids with mums and dads riding so well in Parklands some real talent coming through the ranks…. A tight nit group of club riders set off down Red Dog track… giving more downhill track time than flying down Phoenix which was to be a bit skatey from a recent shower of rain. Regrouping at the 4 ways and heading up Chairlift to gain altitude before hammering ”Upper NZ “ then “Beehive” partially for maximum Rock Culture, topped off with a brutal attack of “T track” down to the end  of cancer tree.  Much debate ensued as to recent track realignment of CT with only positive affirmations voiced. A tree down on CT utilised the Bull Elephants in the group to remove it. Blue Tongue and...

Away Ride Promisedland & Toogoom As they say it’s all about the Journey, what a turnout !!! 25 Bushrangers travelled North… destination… Promisedland MTB tracks. Ok let’s get this straight from the start!! in Australia we have Tracks in other countries they have trails BIG Difference Ha ha . In the middle of what seems like nowhere (Promisedland) west of Cordalba there is these fantastic formed single tracks that weave through a mix of gullies, ridges, trees, rocks and shady vegetation. Absolutely sweet and draws you in for more …. Riders seeded into two suitably skilled groups lead out by professional ride leaders Mik-e and Toby not-e. Elbows out, droppers down the Speed demons set out at a tyre bulging pace taking traction to the limit on loose shale corners, braking hard before putting the pedal down to keep up with the Lithium Junkies (Batteries) bit like chasing a lure on a greyhound track, Great fun for everyone with big smiles all round...

Glasshouse Mountains August 2020

Glasshouse Mountains Ride report.  August 2020 If there is one thing that can be said about a Bushrangers Mtb ride they are NEVER BORING. The Glasshouse mountains has a plethora of riding options from wide open spaces and pine forests, sneaky tree lined single tracks, Rocky Gnarly snotty ups and downs , Magnificent Glasshouse Mt views, sick undulating sand stone features and challenging rutty ravines, not to mention Blue skies and the infamous all-consuming gullies if things get wet although today the weather was stupendous !!! and tracks even better. So 19 crank hardy Bushrangers rode all of the above styles of tracks and then some over 42 Km and 580m elev Gain….. (OK that ads said 25km and 2 hrs but) it was sort of “make it up as we went along” which to be brutally honest is what makes a great ride even better. Yes, there was some pushing when things got boulderous and inclines neared vertical but there is...
