Hit the Sunshine Coast’s mountain bike trails

Out and About

Mountain bike enthusiasts are invited to visit the Sunshine Coast and ‘Ride the 5’.

Riders on the Tewantin National Park MTB Trails.

Visit Sunshine Coast encourages visitors to hop on their bikes and discover the region’s twisting mountain bike trails, taking you from the bush to the beach.

Ride the 5 will profile the region’s five major mountain biking trails: Tewantin National Park MTB Trails; Sugar Bag Rd Caloundra MTB Trails; the proposed 2032 Olympic venue Parklands in the hinterland; Ewen Maddock Dam Ferny Forest MTB Loop; and Mapleton National Park Shared Use Trails.

Visit Sunshine Coast CEO Matt Stoeckel said mountain biking presented a strong opportunity for Sunshine Coast tourism, especially in the lead-up to the Brisbane Olympic Games.

“What sets us apart as a mountain biking destination is the diversity of our trails – both geographically and in skill level - and how close these trails are to other major attractions, eateries and accommodation on the Sunshine Coast,” Mr Stoeckel said.

“We have trails to suit everyone from beginners to experienced riders, and all our courses in Ride the 5 are easily accessible, meaning you can be biking down a mountain one minute and downing a craft beer with your mates the next.

“Getting out and exploring our pristine backyard is always a highlight of a Sunshine Coast holiday, and mountain biking gives visitors another avenue to immerse in nature, breathe in fresh air and soak up the picturesque landscapes.”

“And while you don’t need to be an Olympian to Ride the 5, you’ll deserve a gold medal if you manage to take them all on!”
