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.

We have a new Away Ride Co-ordinator – Martijn (Marty) Mooij

[caption id="attachment_4230" align="alignright" width="300"] Not confirmed yet but we think this is Marty searching for the best riding trails.[/caption] Marty has volunteered to organise the club's away rides and camping trips (with the occasional assistance of his lovely partner Courtney). Marty and Courtney came to our last committee meeting for a meet and greet and we believe that with their talents and their enthusiasm they are going to be an awesome fit with the club. Ben has whipped up the email address travel@bushrangers.org so if you have any ideas or requests for away rides or camping trips then let Marty know. On behalf of the club thanks for volunteering Marty, the club has always loved it's camping trips so it will be good to get some more back onto the calendar.   Michael Johns Club Secretary ...
