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.

Promisedland — Toogoom 5-6/9/2020

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...

Palmwoods – Eudlo Wet weather ride

Ride report Wet Weather alternative ride #2  Palmwoods Eudlo Back country highlands tour. 16/2/2020 Cabin fever (also called stir-crazy, from the use of stir to mean 'prison') is a claustrophobic reaction, manifested as extreme irritability and restlessness, that takes place when a person or group ends up in an isolated or solitary location, or stuck indoors in confined quarters for an extended period of time. And so it was, with record rainfall in some areas of the sunshine coast a serious effort was needed to save our sanity from the conditions. The Big Guns John and Wayne were called into scope a suitable ride, and they certainly delivered mapping out a sensational ride like no other ridden before, thanks. Gathering at the Palmwoods Hotel 19 riders headed west out along Upper Landershute road “Pedal to the metal” from bitumen to dirt the eager throng cut through the back way ending up in the musty sodden town of Eudlo which looked like it’d been half under water   . Regrouped and...

Bushrangers Xmas Party – Sat 8th December 2018

Hello everyone, [caption id="attachment_7052" align="alignright" width="300"] Awwwww yeah!![/caption] Sonja has come up with a lovely idea of having our end of year party eating 'endless' pizza at a new brewery at near Tanawha. So I'm assuming it's an industrial conveyor belt process funneling directly into our mouths. The Glasshouse Brewery lads are finishing off their build and will be ready to host us at 4.30pm Saturday the 8th of December. The address is 330 Mons Road, Tanawha (i.e. the Kunara organic markets - so you can buy some expensive rolled oats while you're there). Cost will be $20 each if you want the pizza and partners are welcome (as long as they talk about how awesome bikes are etc). RSVP here - https://www.eventbrite.com.au/e/2018-bushrangers-xmas-party-tickets-52738543403 Regards, Michael Johns Club Secretary  PS: If you don't like beer I'm sure there will be other things to drink...

Movember 10000km Challenge UPDATE

It's the mid-way point so I've just sat down with my Casio electric Abacus-o-matic and tallied up the total kilometres! The rider with the most kilometres is Pete Bigaila. He is punching out over 600km each week. He is off to the 9-hour GBOMB race at Grafton this weekend so good luck Pete! Graham Reeks is regularly commuting 60km to and from work so his weekly kilometres are up to over 200+ a week (and that's with a big air resisting moustache on the handlebars). Graham is also our biggest fundraiser with $480 donated to Movember, nice work! Paul Vandeleur had a massive ride in the first week but took it easy the 2nd week to prepare for the Singlespeed World Champs in NZ. Him and Royce have already left to participate in the shinanaghans over in Rotorua. Let us know how it goes guys.
