Bushranger Bikes Rides and Activities:

Brisbane City and River Explorer Rides - these rides are a great way to discover what Brisbane has to offer on an easy 15km bike ride that takes in the contrasts of the CBD river front, botanic gardens, Southbank, Kangaroo Point, Dockside, the Story Bridge and New Farm Park - all accessed on a mainly flat river loop ride, primarily on bike ways, commencing from New Farm Park.

Brisbane really is the 'Cycling Friendly City' and the best way to appreciate this and get a feel for what Brisbane has to offer is on a bike.  Outdoor recreation is something that Brisbane residents can participate in all year round due to our fantastic climate, something that the locals take for granted and visitors envy.

So take the opportunity to join Bushranger Bikes on an Explorer Ride and discover the magic of cycling in Brisbane -

Kin Kin/Sunshine Coast back country cycling adventure.

When: On demand – full day activity with an early departure from Brisbane, returning in the evening.  Weather and conditions permitting, we ride a Noosa Trail loop from either Pomona, Kin Kin or Cooran through to Lake MacDonald for lunch, and then return.  While these trails are not overly technical there are some decent climbs and they are exposed to the sun and weather in places.  These rides are between 30 and 50km distance and require a mountain bike and some confidence/skill in riding a bike off-road.

Cost: $55 per person Gang members, $65 for non Gang members.  Includes: Pre ride morning tea/coffee at Pomona, a pack lunch at Lake MacDonald, and transport in the Bushranger Bus for those that are quick to book.

Come 'n' Try Mountain Biking - Samford Valley Rail and Pony Trails

When: On demand Social ‘recreational’ mountain bike ride in the Samford Valley.

This is a half day activity meeting/starting at the Wahminda Park/Tennis Courts car park, Samford Road (left hand side out bound to Samford Valley approx. 2kms past the Ferny Grove Railway Station). Bookings are essential.

The ride includes a loop on the Pony Trails in the Samford Valley covering around 20 kilometres distance depending on the weather conditions/temperature on the day and the energy levels of the group.

This ride will not be overly technical (primarily grassy and dirt trails, some gravel tracks and back country roads) but there will be some challenges (expect to walk some sections) and a mountain bike is required.  It will be a great opportunity to experience easy paced and fun off-road cycling and perhaps gain some skills and confidence.  The ride will take approximately 4 hours.

There will be a coffee stop somewhere in the Valley so bring some change.  Plus depending upon interest and participant numbers we might organise a BYO BBQ in the park afterwards.

Cost: from $15 per person for non Gang members and free for Gang members.  Booking: Mountain bikes are available for hire at $15 each (incl. helmet & gloves) - contact Jon to book your place and organise a bike if required - Ph 3139 1402 or e-mail jon@bushrangerbikes.com.au .
