Join a Mountain Bike Club
One of the best parts of getting into cross country mountain biking is meeting new people and sharing your experiences. Fortunately, Queensland is full of mountain bike clubs that will help you learn faster, progress quicker whilst having lots of fun at the same time.
Mountain bike clubs generally have ride leaders that have a huge amount of local knowledge which their members can and do benefit from. Locations for group rides can change dependant upon weather and the time of year. Rides are selected accordingly to preserve the trails we all love so much!
Regular riding will help you develop XC fitness, speed and skill. Mountain bike clubs are a great way to enhance your race experience as many club members will also be racing at events.
To compete at mountain bike races in Queensland and Australia you will need to join Auscycling. Auscycling memberships provide many benefits (which are all listed on their website).
