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.

Global Fat Bike Day 2016 Summary – 03/12/2016

Hello everyone, I don't know about you but I could barely sleep last Friday night because I knew that when I woke up it would be the most wonderful-est day of the year. GLOBAL FAT BIKE DAY!!!! #GFBD2016 #fatbikelove #chunky&spunky #phatfat #ihatehashtags [caption id="attachment_2083" align="alignright" width="300"] More girth, more mirth![/caption] "What exactly is a fatbike?" I hear you ask. Good question! In my eyes a fatbike is a bike with tyres over 3.5" wide. Now I know there are these new "plus" bikes out there with 3" tyres but it's just not the same so maybe one day they'll have a "Global Half-Assed Fat Bike Day" and they can ride around and be shunned from both sides. Here is an interesting chart which visibly shows the results of a "lengthy" and "unbiased" study into the correlation of tyre width and LOA (Level of Awesome). Note the strange drop around the 3" mark. In our club we have a few folks who have seen the light and gotten...

Global Fat Bike Day 2016 – 03/12/2016

Stop holding your breath folks, it's that time again - Global Fat Bike Day 2016! #GFBD2016 The day where 0.0001% of riders who actually own fatbikes can stand up and shout about easily riding through sand (or that rare Queensland snow), brag about climbing loose rocky slopes with the unlimited traction and conveniently forgetting to mention things like rotational mass, chain rub, self-steer, expensive tyres, and weird-ass off-set spoke patterns. OK FINE!! Fatbikers do that every day but this is still our day so tough luck! So this year's ride will be over at Bribie Island. We start at the surf club and ride along the beach while the tide lets us then its BBQ and beers and a lovely ride back under the moonlight. Romantic eh? So if you got a fatbike or are fatbike curious (it's OK we don't spank our initiates) jump onto the Facebook page and have a look - https://www.facebook.com/events/161231834288047/ Michael "Is this sand we are riding on?"
