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.

08/05/2016 – Parklands Club Ride Summary

We had a smaller group today because of the camping trip this weekend but weather was great and the trails were good. Chad took Alf, Andrew, Chris, Will, Graham, Steve and Neil out from the Radar Hill carpark, along Road Rage, over to Red Dog then back around to Lower NZ and Ho Chi Ho. Alf copped a catastrophic sidewall tear on those jagged rocks on top of Road Rage but then drove home, replaced the tyre and came back to finish the ride. That is dedication! Graham, Steve and Neil peeled off from the group and went a different route so I hope you guys had a good ride. I took Greg the rookie out along the novice track and gave him a taste of mountain biking and Parklands. He did really well and I hope I didn't bamboozle him too much with all the advice. It's amazing how much you need to think about when you ride, only really realise it when...

We continued riding around the dam taking in the sights and stopping for the odd photo. Most ladies were well and trully ready for a coffee and a snack once we arrived at Buck’s Bakery in Landsborugh. After refreshments, a highlight was definitely going through Dalarcha N.P. and riding through the old tunnel to Kenny’s at Mooloolah. It was at this point, some of the ladies had to dig deep. The SAG wagon was called for one lady who made a promised to herself to get on her bike more often . It was the first time her legs had peddled in a very long time. So she did exceptionally well getting that far. With only a few kilometres to go, one bike sadly didn’t make it. Our support mechanic,...
