School holiday bike action

Bike On will again be running Bike Camps these school holidays with interest in them growing since their launch three years ago.

These coming July School Holidays Bike On have a full program on offer, predominately based at Wooroi Mountain Trail Bike trails and Tewantin National Park and its not too late to secure a place.

The Bike Camps are designed to engage and inspire our kids (from 5yrs) and to get them outside enjoying the fantastic local trails. Groups of 8-10 riders are matched based on riding abilities (and friends) with the structured sessions delivering a mix of bike games, quality MTB skills coaching and riding on the MTB trails.

Bike On’s Tracey Wyatt said over recent years the Wooroi MTB trails have seen great improvements with the benefit of collaboration between the local Noosa Trailblazers MTB Club, National Parks, Tourism Noosa & Noosa Council.

“Thanks to funding many new trails have been added and a regular maintenance program has been initiated on the existing trail network,” she said. “The latest new trail named Trailblazers but referred to locally as Rocket opened in March 2019 and is a fast downhill flow trail. On any given day you can see Noosa’s local riding talent lining up to session this awesome new trail. There is also a new trail hub at the bottom of Rocket where riders stop to chat and decide which of three awesome options to ride out.”Bike On’s Justin Wyatt said the camps had evolved to add new locations (including Noosa, Nambour and Gympie) and levels to cater for the spiralling skills of the young talented crew. This year Bike On have added a regular Thursday afternoon Bike Grom’s program to cater for the young teenagers who have come through the Bike Camps and are looking for a weekly ride.
