Bushranger Bikes Rides and Activities:

New - 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: Next ride date still to be set – this will be a full day activity with an early departure from Brisbane, returning in the evening.  The plan, weather permitting, is to ride Noosa Trail number 4 from the Pomona/Kin Kin Road through to Lake MacDonald for lunch, and then return.  While this trail is not overly technical it has some decent climbs, can be exposed to the sun in places and requires a mountain bike and some confidence off-road.

Cost: $45 per person Gang members, $55 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.

Booking: Mountain bikes are available for hire at $15 each - contact Jon to book your place and organise a bike if required - Ph 3139 1402 or e-mail jon@bushrangerbikes.com.au  


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

When: Next ride date still to be set – Afternoon ride.  This will be a half day activity meeting 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) at 12:30PM.  The plan is to ride a variety of Pony Trails in the Samford Valley covering around 20 to 30 kilometres distance depending on the weather conditions on the day and the energy levels of the group.

While this ride is not overly technical (primarily grassy and dirt trails, some gravel and back country roads) there will be some challenges and a mountain bike is required.  It will be a great opportunity to gain some experience, skills and confidence cycling off-road.  Finish will be approximately 5:00PM.

Cost: $25 per person for non Gang members and $15 for Gang members.  Includes: Some pack snacks to keep the energy levels up and there will be a coffee stop somewhere in the Valley so bring some change.

Booking: Mountain bikes are available for hire at $15 each - contact Jon to book your place and organise a bike if required - Ph 3139 1402 or e-mail jon@bushrangerbikes.com.au
