Access to some of the nation's best trail networks ...
The Gold Coast Mountain Bike Club was established in 1990 by a dedicated group of mountain bike riders. With over 120 members and easy access to some of the best trails in Australia, it ranks among the most successful clubs in the country. The club caters for most ages and all MTB disciplines, both at the racing and social ride levels for Cross Country (XCO), Endurance (XCE) and Downhill (DH).
The Club was a major contributor to the Gold Coast’s successful bid for the 2018 Commonwealth Games and has received funding grants through various Queensland Government departments to construct and establish an Olympic standard Cross Country track at Hinze Dam. Stage 1 is complete with approximately 6km of single track open for riding whilst Stage 2 is currently underway and will see a further 5.5km added to the trail.
Our Club works closely with National Parks, Recreation Sport and Racing (NPRSR) to provide trail construction and maintenance within Nerang National Park and has entered into a formal Trail Care Agreement. Our Club is supported by MTB Trailcare volunteers who are dedicated to the maintenance, upkeep and construction of mountain bike trails to the standards adopted by International Mountain Bicycling Association-Australia (IMBA).
Our Club has also worked with Gold Coast City Council and IMBA on a project to recognise and legalise a Downhill and All Mountain trail system within the Eagle Heights Conservation Park, Mt Tamborine; commonly referred to as ‘Old Tambo’. It is expected that works on the Old Tambo project will commence in mid-September 2013.
The Gold Coast Mountain Bike Club has successfully hosted and staged competition events at Club, State and National levels since its inception. With the surge of interest in mountain bike related activities, we anticipate a strong resurgence in membership and riding activities for both social and competition in all disciplines.
