How it works

For every lap you complete of our circuit, we will give you a single card. After 2 hours the circuit will close after the last rider is back home. Cards will be compared and the highest hand wins, not the most laps. For example a pair of aces will beat a bad hand of 5 cards.

Those who can complete more than 5 laps can exchange their worst card for another at the end of the time allowed.

Bring the family

Even the little ones (if they can ride) will be catered for with a dedicated circuit to ride on while the bigger kids will have a shortened version of the adult trail. Something for everyone. For everyone who pays the entrance fee there will be a free BBQ snag. For those not riding, drinks and BBQ will be available for a fee.

Everyone is welcome; experienced riders, intermediate riders, complete novice riders and of course, spectators. This is NOT an event based on SKILL, but based purely on LUCK.

Riders coming together

The committee have also approached both Noosa Trailblazers MTB Club and Gravity MTB Club who have both indicated their support for a combined event and social gathering afterwards. If successful, the committee want to make this an annual or 6 monthly event. Make sure you bring a friend!

Supporting SCTA

Sunshine Coast Trails Alliance (SCTA) are a newly formed group who will be responsible for Sunshine Coast Regional trail care activities. All profits from this event will be used to purchase tools and equipment for trail care undertaken by this group and their wonderful volunteers.

Formation of Sunshine Coast Trails Alliance - SCTA PDF Print E-mail
Written by Administrator   
Thursday, 18 April 2013 13:38

The formation of the Sunshine Coast Trails Alliance (SCTA) has been in the pipeline for some time now. In aligning with other parts of the mountain biking community in SEQ, the Bushrangers committee has made the decision to move the club away from being the sole coordinators and drivers for trail care activities in Parklands.

The club approached a number of other mountain bike clubs, business owners and interest groups in the region about forming a new trail care alliance. The response was great and all agreed the benefits of such a group. The concept was also discussed with Queensland Parks and Wildlife Service (QPWS) and again the response was very positive. QPWS asked that this alliance be moved forward as a priority to help facilitate trail care activities into the future.

We are now in the process of formalising this exciting alliance and building our online presence to allow us to launch the group to the region. Stay tuned …. we’re coming and we will be looking for your support in getting the word out on the trails.

The primary focus of the group is to have a single entity, rather than an individual or individuals to coordinate and work with QPWS rangers and land owners. Forming the alliance will better enable us to collaborate and submit proposals for works which the various land owners could then approve for the alliance to carry out. It will also provide a weight of numbers position when negotiating with QPWS and land owners for greater access and outcomes in relation to trails on the Sunshine Coast.

All future trail care activities will be carried out via the SCTA with input from Bushrangers. Terry Morgan and Adrian Randall will be our club representatives, so if you have any ideas, please contact them.

If you are keen to know more, please contact SCTA via email on This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it or via their new facebook page http://www.facebook.com/sc.trails.alliance

Queensland Mountain Bike Rider Survey PDF Print E-mail
Written by Gill Bates   
Monday, 15 April 2013 20:50

This survey is the opportunity to find about the riding patterns, needs and interests of MTB riders in Qld – who you are, where you go, how often you ride etc. What we are keen to capture is information that can be used to help demonstrate both the demand for MTB trails and spaces; and to get an understanding of some of the demographics of riders as well.

We appreciate you taking the time to complete the survey – but would ask that you complete it only once. To increase the replies, we encourage you forward it on to other riders you know and encourage them to get involved as well. The survey should take around 10 minutes to complete – so thanks for your time, and thanks for the effort.
