Cape York Adventures

We always seem to find likeminded folk on the Cape. We saw Ellyse, Woody and their crew 3 times that week before we stopped for a yarn. 👊🚲🏍️

So, it went like this:
DJ: “Sparky, what do you want for your birthday?”
Sparky: “I’d like to ride my MTB on the Telegraph Track. Lunch and a swim at Fruitbat Falls, and a heap of guitar at the campfire…” ✅

The boys doing what they do best. Hip hip, hooray! 🎵👊

Not ok: A CLOSED 🚫🚲 trail means it’s OFF LIMITS!!

Sadly, Atherton Forest Mountain Bike Park’s refurbed RICOCHET DH TRAIL is yet to be opened due to the ongoing wet 🌧️ weather, but has been ridden significantly by a group over recent days. They’ve busted the bunting, and discarded the ‘Trail Closed’ signs, also. 😬

Our trails are there, as a result of thousands of hours of dedication from a small group of VOLUNTEERS.

Since the Ricochet refurb conducted by trail legends Contour Works, the club has held numerous working bees to maintain it through the wet, and we’ve not yet ridden it ourselves! 😡

In disbelief that we have to say it, please stay off closed trails in all MTB parks.

A traditional welcome to Yalandji country at Yindilli on the McDowell Range (CREB track). What a treat! 🚲🤘 Thanks CJ, that was a touching end to a solid 98km ride with 1600m vertical. Deep connection, a book launch and family yarns. And THAT swimming hole! One of the best campsites anywhere, and NO PHONE RECEPTION! 🏆Feeling very blessed.

A great event, which we proudly support. Get on it! 🚲🤘 Atherton Forest Mountain Bike Park

🚴🏻🚴🏻Elevate XCM 2024🚴‍♀️🚴‍♀️
Hi folks, we’ve made a few changes to this years race format to hopefully enhance the social aspect appeal of this iconic event.
Elevate 8hr will now be on the Saturday (August 3rd), starting at 9:00am to give the “out of town” riders time to travel to Atherton, with the finish time being 5:00pm.
KidEvate will now be on the Sunday (August 4th) starting at 9:00am.
As per usual, the event village, pit area, start/finish, trade exhibit, will be at the Atherton Tableland Gun Club & camping will be available at the Rifle Club next door.
One of the reasons for the format change, is so that competing riders can enjoy the Saturday night shindig we have planned. This will include race presentations, a variety of food vans, live music, random prize giveaways & beer, beer & more beer🍺
Stay tuned for more details & registration will be open soon….

Farewell to our Specialized Epic Evo Pro - One bike that can pedal, climb, descend, jump, manual and destroy anything we put in front of it. From the Frenchman’s Track to the Telegraph Track, to the manicured trails of to the rail trails , these things eat it up with ease. Want an all day MTB? Look no further than one of these in any spec- you won’t be disappointed!🏆🚲 What will we be riding when you see us next? 🤷‍♂️

Our ride truly is a bucket list journey. Gaddy managed to find this beautiful hunting knife with an ivory handle, in a remote creek we were swimming in on the . He took it home, and now has it displayed proudly in his outstanding 💈 shop. Thanks for riding with us - You’re one in a million, Gaddy. 😊❤️👊🚲 If you’re in Cairns, you know where to get your haircut.

Which is your favourite?😋We love our campfire creations. On some of our remote (waaaaaay off grid) camps, we supply a broad range of meals for our riders to choose from. They’re tasty, nourishing and a great way to fuel our people! Riders can choose their favourite flavours. After a solid day on the bike, a blazing campfire and a hearty meal hits the spot, every time. 🏆🚲🍷🎸🔥❤️
