Bike On Social

Bike On Social is a different kind of Mountain Bike Club. We have a long legacy in children’s mountain bike development and Bike On Social was created out of a desire to allow parents to share in their kid’s passion for mountain biking and develop along with them. From this, the idea of Bike On Social was born, and we developed a range of flexible and varied programs for parents to allow them to find more opportunities to ride and develop mountain bike skills in a social environment in programs facilitated by experienced coaches.

Our programs include social rides, all facilitated and led by experienced, professional coaches for a few tips along the way. These are offered at various levels of skill and stamina. Programs include:

• Social groups with basic coaching
• Women’s groups
• Family rides
• Intermediate level social rides
• Skills based group coaching sessions at the beginner – lower intermediate level to consolidate and refine key MTB skills

We also offer a range of single and multi-day weekend getaways for families or individuals including options like:

• Weekend at Toowoomba with camping or accommodation, private shuttles
• Trips to derby with private shuttles, transfers and accommodation
• Single day road trips to SEQ ride destinations

We run a variety of group coaching for beginners and intermediate adults. These sessions will focus on developing the 6 fundamental skills of mountain biking and learning to apply these to a wide variety of trail features and maneuvers.

All our programs including social rides are hosted by qualified coaches so you’re always welcome to ask for pointers as you go on any social ride too!

We run programs at a varied level.

• Women’s specific groups tend to run at a beginner to lower intermediate level (basically just be comfortable riding a bike on simple MTB trails).
• Social rides usually run at an intermediate level, can safely and confidently get down intermediate runs.
• Coaching tends to focus on fundamental skills and is best suited to beginner and intermediate riders.
• Getaways tend to run at a solid intermediate level, but the standard required can vary depending on a number of factors.

If you’re unsure what level a program runs at, it will be outlined in the specific program description but do not hesitate to contact us…. you don’t have to be an amazing rider to enjoy Bike On Social!

Most of our regular programs occur across Noosa, Nambour & Gympie, however we do some away rides to other destinations across SEQ. Currently the majority of programs are run in Noosa.

One of the ways we keep costs low is to utilise our staff resources when they are not required for other work, so the exact times of programs vary over the year. We try to run our programs over a variety of times, days and locations. The exact times of upcoming programs are outlined below (you can view upcoming dates / locations for each of our programs below)

Using group numbers, we can secure wholesale and group pricing from a wide variety of operators. Instead of adding a significant mark up to these packages we choose to pass them on at a very low cost as a “thankyou” to our members.

Getaways range from weekend camping trips with private shuttles at Toowoomba or Hiddenvale all the way to weeklong trips to Tasmania or Thredbo with transfers, shuttles and accommodation. We tend to offer weekend get aways each school holidays and a more elaborate holiday once per year
