Come Ride With Us at the RATS Cycling Club!

Since 1993, RATS Cycling Club has been building, supporting and celebrating the riding community across Southern Brisbane, Logan City and the Redlands. What started as a small group of passionate mountain bikers has grown into one of Australia’s largest and most active cycling clubs — now home to around 500 riders of all ages, abilities and backgrounds.

What We’re All About

RATS is built on four core pillars that shape everything we do:

  • Racing – We host exciting, well-run events throughout the year for riders of every level.

  • Advocacy – We work closely with landowners and councils to support better access, better trails and a stronger voice for our riding community.

  • Trail Care – Our volunteers help maintain, protect and improve the local trail network we all love.

  • Social – Regular group rides, skills sessions and community events for riders of all ages and skill levels.

Where We Ride

We’re proud to call some of South-East Queensland’s best MTB areas home, including Bayview, Cornubia, Daisy Hill, Eastern Escarpment, Scrubby Gums and Underwood Park. Whether you’re brand new to mountain biking, returning after a break, or chasing your next challenge, you’ll find a supportive community ready to welcome you.

100% Volunteer Powered

RATS Cycling Club is proudly run by volunteers who are passionate about building a stronger MTB community. Every event, trail care session and social ride happens because riders like you get involved.
