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.

Parklands MTB Trail Project Update

This afternoon I submitted our application for the Sunshine Coast Regional Council (SCRC) Community Grants – “Major Grants – Community Facilities grant”. Completing one of three grant applications we’re working on.

This application is the result of many, many hours of effort and I would like to thank everyone who helped out – including Michael (our secretary), Rob (SCTA), Helen (SCRC Grants Officer), Kurt (SCRC Trails Activation Officer), Eugene (Ranger), Kathy (NSPR Grants Officer) and the local trail building businesses who submitted quotes to us with short notice.

Once again we would like to thank all those who have sent in letters of support – they are extremely useful for demonstrating the support this project has. We still need letters for the state grant so please continue sending them in.

Give your trails a tax-deductible donation

The Bush Rangers MTB Club have teamed up with the Australian Sports Foundation (ASF) to get a DGR1 status which means all your donations to the club are tax deductible for you. This money will be used to fund the $25k co-contribution amount for upcoming government grants for a skills area, novice loop and flow trails and also for annual trail maintenance and to help put on race events and skills clinics. There is a donate link on www.bushrangers.org or you can just go straight to our ASF donation page at https://asf.org.au/organisation/bushrangers-mountain-bike-club/ Thanks for your generosity and as always stay safe and keep riding!...
